It’s frustrating to see that the price of gas seems to have absolutely no impact on the demand for gas, but it’s even worse to read a story like this that completely misses the point: Fed up station owner shuts off gas pumps. You couldn’t jam any more irony into these two sentences if you tried:

Maria McClory, 38, drove 10 miles out of her way to buy a diet soda from Pollack’s station after seeing local television coverage of the protest.

“I just wanted to support them and thank them for making a statement,” said McClory, who drives about 100 miles a day for work in her sport utility vehicle.

Have we just completely lost the ability to put two and two together? We’re fucked.
