Gassed out

Hey, we all agree that the price of gas is getting ridiculous. But a guy in Wisconsin is going too far.

Brian LaFave is refusing to buy gas for a month — maybe longer. This Cheesehead won’t even ride with friends if they have to go out of their way to pick him up.

“I just wanted to take a stand and say, ‘I’m not gonna pay this much money for gas,’ ” he said.

Suit yourself, Bri. You can walk or ride your bike as you have pledged, but it ain’t gonna help.

A month from now, when you want to gas up your pickup, you’ll probably be paying even more.

Three predictions:

1) We will look back on the current rate of $3.60 per gallon gas as “the good ol’ days.”

2) We will probably see $5 per gallon gas this year or next.

3) When that happens, we will all grumble and cuss like hell about it. But in the end … we will park alongside the pump every few days, pay up and drive off.

... On the bright side, pretty soon you'll be able to get a real nice deal on that Hummer you’ve been lusting after for a long time.
