I wasn't going to say anything but fuck it cost $40 bucks to fill up my tank the other day. I drive a fucking corolla. It should not cost $40 fucking bucks to fill up a corolla. That was almost all my two week paycheck from my crappy candy store job! *Shakes fist in the air*

I know in a lot of countries gas is still way more expensive but often they have better public transportation, or it's easier to walk around. Freaking where I live it's not safe to walk or ride a bike any where. And Septa is a joke, for a round trip into the city it cost 14 dollars. Christ if I drive and use a parking meter it's cheaper then that and takes less time too.

Niggas be wildin' with gas prices.

NEW YORK - Oil prices shot up nearly $7 a barrel Friday, extending big gains from the previous day and racing toward an all-time high after a Morgan Stanley analyst predicted prices could hit $150 by the Fourth of July.

Light, sweet crude for July delivery jumped $6.27 to $134.06 on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Earlier, the contract rose as high as $134.68.

Friday's surge builds on a $5.49 gain Thursday, which was the biggest single-day price increase in the history of the Nymex crude contract. That spike came as the dollar fell in response to comments by the European Central Bank suggesting the bank could raise interest rates.

Iran test fires missiles in riposte to U.S., Israel

TEHRAN, Iran (CNN) -- Iran has test-fired nine missiles in response to what it says are threats from Israel and the United States, state-run Iranian media says.

The Islamic Republic News Agency and Press TV reported that the naval forces of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Wednesday test-fired a Shahab-3 missile during war games in the Persian Gulf.

The exercises come a month after Israel conducted a military drill in the eastern Mediterranean involving dozens of warplanes, and the latest Iranian activities prompted concern from Israel and condemnation from the United States.

Iran occasionally tests missiles, but this firing comes amid international tensions over its nuclear aspirations.

"The war game was aimed at improving the combat readiness of Iran's armed forces. The 2,000-kilometer-range Shahab-3 missiles were tested to demonstrate Iran's capability in hitting its enemies accurately at the early stages of their probable attacks against the Islamic Republic.

"Domestic and foreign political and military analysts believe that Shahab-3 is able to reach targets in the occupied lands in case of the Zionist regime's probable attacks against Iran's nuclear sites," the Islamic Republic News Agency said.

Shit, I only have a 1/4 tank right now.

I meant Oil. Oil will hit $150 a barrel roll. Gas will still be around $4.00 for a while.
