| As if.
Would've been a fine prank though, a couple of radio DJ's made up an Aprils fools joke involving a gas station once that pretty much stopped the traffic in our capitol Helsinki.
It wasn't for the gas price though, but a blow-out of beer and cigarettes. IIRC hundreds of drivers showed up, jamming one of the main roads pretty firmly.

I remember when it was $1.10 for real. I could fill my Ford Escort for $15 and get two weeks of driving out of that. |

Suffice to say, my income has not increased on pace with the price of gas or many other necessities in the time since. Not even effin close. |
