With the way gas prices are these days, it seemed a good time to revive a post from earlier last year. I was going to update the numbers, but thought it better to resort to the safe tactic of remembering the "good old days" as a way to cope with current stress levels.

Gas Prices Tumble 14 Cents Consumer Affairs.com

Well, that certainly captures your attention. But I can beat that misleading headline from a recent consumer watchdog news page. After some selective research, I can categorically state:

Gasoline is up $2.50 . The Pisstakers dot com

I like being a pretend journalist. So just like the Consumer Affairs journo who penned his headline, I neglected to qualify my headline with an important fact. What I should have written was "Gasoline is up $2.50 over the past 20 years".

And what he neglected to say was "Gas prices tumble 14 cents in 2 weeks."

Now those headlines would have made more sense in their complete form, but probably not made anyone read on, thinking the end of normality as we know it had just arrived.

Being a serious pisstaker I also found chart of random useless info to back up my statement! But that is getting way too conscientious, so I'll stop right there.
