I believe if you adjust for inflation, gasoline prices in the US are not at "historically high price" right now.. News outlets dont bother to do the math really.
Actually, milk money might not be far off. Check the price of milk over the same time period

Probably higher markup right now than gasoline.
Doesnt change the basic argument that they have us by the balls.. but still.
I think you can still get a tax benefit if you buy a "truck" (hummers, huge SUV's,anything classified as "truck") and use it in your normal business (maybe depositing a check once a month). It's retarded.
