Remember the good, old days when gasoline costs less than a buck and you’d still get full-service, red-carpet treatment from your Texaco man?
Well, now the national average gasoline price is $3.87 — more than double what it was when President Obama took office in 2009. And to add insult to injury, his bureaucratic goons in the Environmental Protection Agency have issued a new mandate requiring consumers to buy at least four gallons when purchasing from stations with hoses containing 10 percent and 15 percent ethanol-blended fuel.
WTF? What purpose does that mandate serve? What if you only need a gallon or two for your lawnmower or scooter? What if you’ve broken down on the highway and are down to your last $10, enough money to buy enough gas to get you started but less than the EPA mandate? And what if you’re Jack Benny, exercising your constitutional right to frugality, by only purchasing one gallon at a time?
