I have a silly question. If you find your expenses exceed your income, do you rush into your Boss’ office, and demand more money? Or do you do what the rest of the world does, and reduce your expenses?
I only ask, because for some reason, Gasoline and such are apparently the only things that operate on the idea of what you think you should be paying. Everything else, operates under supply and demand.
When the new Mustangs came out, the Ford Dealers happily charged additional money, over the price of the sticker, called premium pricing. People paid this. The same was true of the Dodge Challenger and Charger. People paid above the sticker price for the joy of getting one of the first cars.
Yet, when it comes time to fuel up those cars, all of a sudden it’s outrageous.
So if you don’t like paying for your big V-8 monster engine, get a car with a smaller more efficient engine.
I laughed at a guy at work last week. He was complaining about how much it cost to fuel is Ford F-350 truck. He has a 7.3 Liter gasoline engine. He doesn’t use this truck for work. He doesn’t really tow anything. He just drives around in the monster. He could have bought a Toyota truck, and done pretty much everything he would do with his monster, for a hell of a lot less money.
Now, why is it my problem when his choices are bad? Why is it my problem when his choice to get the biggest engine he could shove under the hood are costing him an arm and a leg every time he fills it up? Why is it my problem when his tool around town truck is a bad decision? Why is it my problem when you make the same idiotic choices?
Your choice, your problem. If you don’t like the problem, don’t demand the whole word adjust to your idiotic choice, adjust to the world. It’s called evolution. You resist it of course, but that is your problem. Not ours.
