Item: One tank of gas costs Spokane man $81B/KXLY
More Info: Many people have complained about high gas prices over the years but Juan Zamora has a story that beats them all after he was charged more than $81 Billion for a single tank of gas. Filling up for gas is routine for Juan Zamora on his weekly commute from Spokane to the Tri-Cities. “I didn’t know if I grabbed the Jet Fuel or the Super I don’t know, I couldn’t remember,” Zamora said.

Whatever it was last year. We are still very lucky in what we pay now. Just wait.

I think this is Obama’s plan to fix the defecit and curb greenhouse gases at the same time…

Let’s see, the government(s) are planning to raise the gas tax because we aren’t driving as much and they aren’t getting enough money to fix the highways and bridges we aren’t using. Just think, what would happen if we quit driving altogether. I think I just hurt my brain.
