Petrol Prices

Merry Christmas, everybody. Gas prices have shot up recently and are almost back up at $3 per gallon in NC. The fact that it's so expensive is unpleasant. But, on top of that, increased gas prices make it harder to pump to an even dollar amount. The more prices go up, the more sensitive the pump trigger gets. You give it a quick pinch from "$19.98" and it shoots up to "$20.01". I know it's non-consequential, but I still feel disappointed in myself. Then the pump asks me if I want a receipt. Would I like a hard-copy reminder of my failure? No. No, thank you.
