Bryan Carisone, a heating and air-conditioning contractor in Raritan, N.J., “absolutely loves” his new GMC Denali XL, an extra-large sport utility vehicle with televisions built into the leather seats. But in June, one week after he bought it, he pulled into a station on a near-empty tank and watched the total climb higher and higher — to $109.
“It just about killed me,” Mr. Carisone said.
However great your admiration for SUVs only some kind of profound dolt buys one THIS SUMMER and gasps at the price of filling the tank.
Breathlessly hysterical stories on the local news about the PAIN at the PUMP have become a running joke at Chez Baxblog (I eagerly await the creation of a slick graphic logo for the PAIN, like they cook up for wars and big storms and white female abductees).
At this juncture how can anyone be genuinely surprised that their steroidal dinosaur-mobile costs a lot to feed?
