Check it out and don't be taken for a ride
I read with interest about the rising fuel prices due to the upheaval in Venezuela, the colder than normal winter, and the prospect of war with Iraq ["Over a barrel," Feb. 12].
When I filled my car recently, the price was $1.55 per gallon, up a few cents from last year. It was no big deal to me, even though I use my car for my livelihood.
What bugs me is to hear people complain about gas rising a few pennies, yet think nothing of paying $1 a bottle for water, which comes to $8 a gallon for water.
Anybody know what "Evian" is spelled backwards?
