Impatient driver cuts in line, blows up gas station

1 hr ago



A Miami woman's Chevron rage sent a gas station up in flames on Tuesday afternoon. While waiting in line to fill up, an unidentified but aggressively impatient driver attempted to cut ahead of a Hummer but lost control and crashed into the pumps, turning the station into a Michael Bay-worthy ball of fire. CBS4 reports that (http://miami.cbslocal.com/2012/03/20/driver-causes-gas-pump-explosion-in-miami-beach/), amazingly, there were no injuries and, just as amazingly, no charges have been filed yet. Gizmodo wrote (http://gizmodo.com/5895173/inconsiderate-gas-station-line+cutting-woman-causes-huge-explosion) that "it is very hard to make the driver of a yellow Hummer look like the sensible one in a confrontation," but we agree that the owner of that now-incinerated SUV seems to have succeeded

I found this absolutely hilarious

Which goes to show: It might be a karmically sound policy to screw with Hummer drivers as much as possible, but you should to try to not explode your car in the process.

Gas prices are going CRAZY here and I saw a line of cars in front of a 7-11 by Eldon, MO that had a sign posted, "Limited supply - new pump hours." I paid $4.04 a gallon for regular on I70 yesterday at a BP station. I hope we don't go back to a situation like the 70s when we had the fuel embargo and at the time I was driving a 1970 Ram Air IV GTO (another car I wish I kept) that got 10 mpg and spent a lot of my life waiting for gas in gas lines.
People seem to panic at these times and sell their big Hummers and big SUVs for a small rice eater they end up regretting a year later. This summer could be a good time to buy another Hummer!

Gas prices here have gone up 10 cents a gallon overnight for three days in a row just outside of Albany, NY. I paid $4.13 a gallon last night and put more than $100 of gas in my H2 for the first time in a long time. It's the price I pay for having a vehicle that I love to drive, and to me it's worth every penny.

Well

The prices in Europe right now are 9.312 USD / Gallon. Just looking forward to someone to do something about this
