The radio show I listen to every morning insisted on interviewing a woman who just spent $77 dollars on a tank of gas. "How can Exxon do this? They had record profits last year" "That is a week's worth of groceries" "Highway Robbery!" "This is ridiculous, I can't afford this!!" These were all her comments.
She owns a 2006 Toyota Landcruiser. "I have to have it. I have four children. I have to have an SUV for safety." She filled her tank with 22 gallons, and admitted to getting only 11mpg, 25 if she is on a long stretch of highway. The hosts sympathized with her, "Of course you have to have an SUV! How will your family ever survive with these prices."
Can I reiterate...she owns a 2006 Toyota Landcruiser. That means she bought the beast, in all likelyhood, following the gas spikes that hit the pumps after Hurricane Katrina.
I would like to drop kick that soccer mom for claiming, along with 69% of the nation, that the gas prices had created a hardship for her family. A new 2006 Landcruiser...how will they ever survive!
