I imagine Varvel being a person who believes in personal responsibility would plan to have resources when it is inevitable that inflation had to hit some day. Or does he just hide his head in the sand and ignore the fact that there are always bad times that need to be planned for. Personally, I am ecstatic that I am paying more for gas and NOT being bombed by RUSSIANS!!!
Varvie – Indy cars switched from gasoline to alcohol after the horrific death of Eddie Sachs (and Dave MacDonald!) back in 1964. But you don’t want Indiana farmers to grow corn for ethanol, or anyone to drive electric cars charged by solar and wind generation.
If you want to pay more for gas then move to Europe. I rather have more money in my pocket than having to pay more for gas because of an unnecessary war that should have never happened. Almost as if Biden wanted it to happen.
In a great big gas guzzler… were he in Europe, he would just take the train because they’re all over the place, and gas is double what it costs in America.
I find it a bit ironic that he is using a trip to a car race to crab about the price of gas… considering the Indy 500 is full of cars going round and round, no destination, using oodles of gasoline. Reminds me of the truckers’ (and cars) “protest” about anything and everything while wasting gas. Irony is dead.
Gas is such a red herring. On my local news last night they had a piece about how much more expensive going on a road trip this weekend will be. But they didn’t use actual numbers. So, I will.
If you take a 500-mile trip in a 25mpg car, you’re going to use 20 gallons. Let’s say gas is $5.50 per gallon, but you want it to be $3.50. Okay. That means your little family road trip is going to cost an extra 40 bucks. And if $40 is significant to your vacation, I would suggest staying home and working an extra shift at Walmart.
I don’t enjoy watching most sports (though I love that there are people who love to engage in them)… certainly not “professional sports” (which is contradictory). But if I had to pick one that’s the worst, not just the least interesting for me personally… it would probably be auto racing. Maybe when they allow electric cars?

He should have planned ahead, nobodies fault but his own.

Gas prices must not be bad if we still have car races?

Varvel proving again with this effort how very difficult it must be to come up with a humorous / clever / inciteful political cartoon.

With all of the crying about gas prices, why are there so many cars on the highway with only one occupant?
Rich Douglas almost 2 years ago
There is no gasoline shortage. The hysteria over a rise in gas prices is unhinged, but telling lies about it only makes it worse.

Why is a national resource like oil in private hands, where it is used for extortion from the true owners, the citizens.
Look at the ownership of the oil companies.
Use the profits to rebuild the decaying infrastructure of roads & bridges. Where DO the road taxes go ?
The cartoonist has missed the irony of his puny complaint.
