Unless you have a magic wand and pay a reduced price at the
pump.............you certainly are.

The only magic wand in play here is the one that Harry feels is up his
rectum. Like you, the price I pay for gas is the price determined by
current market conditions. Also like you, the current market price tends to
have an effect on my rate of consumption, as well as the rest of my
finances. I don't recall reading anywhere that I have to like it, but on
the other hand, it doesn't mean that I equate the situation with being
sodomized by a political entity.

If you feel you can produce 20 gallons of gas for your car's tank at a price
less than Chevron is willing to sell it to you for, please feel free to do
so. If you can produce food for less than the supermarket is willing to
sell it to you for, again, please feel free to do so. And finally, if you
can self-perform that much-needed lobotomy for less than the neurosurgeon is
willing to do it for, please have at it.
