I was driving around Cambridge, MA yesterday and stopped to fill up my car with gas. It felt like a hard punch in the gut when I saw my total – it cost me over $40 to fill up my little Honda. But as I was reeling from the blow, I noticed that I was
in good company because there was a Dodge Charger to my left and a Ford F-150 to my right. I wondered how much they were paying to fill up their tanks…
