Families are struggling to find the money to pay for gas even as the US experiences its third year of declining incomes.
They pretty much lost me right away, at that line^.

I'm sure it isn't isolated to my neighborhood: look around, what do you see? I see lots and lots and lots of recreational tearing around in guzzler-type vehicles- new guzzler type vehicles, with big loans on them. Yes, it goes way beyond the need to commute. This is not what "people struggling to find the money for gas" do. This is what lazy-arse, ignorant slobs do.

OK... I did go back- for perhaps the same reason we like to gawk at accidents? Those testimonials are giving me a severe schaudenfreude reaction!
