Ticked off! @gas prices

-

As a resident in Poinciana, I find it quite puzzling the wide difference­s in local gas prices. For a parttime gig I drive Uber as I have recently retired; I get around the greater Orlando area. This past weekend I found it maddening with some gas prices. How can it be that living in the area of Kissimmee the price of regular gas is $4 among four gas stations? Yet I have come across at least a halfdozen prices between $3.77 - $3.79 in the communitie­s that encompass the streets of Goldenrod and Narcoossee near the airport? This to me, seems as a concerted effort to price gouge the low-income residents in my area who can least afford it.

I too am ticked off at the prepostero­us idea with the current limited range of E-cars that we should give up our gas cars for them. And that we should hurt the little guy with high gas prices to try to force the issue. Technology has not caught up with our ideas.

The bonus comics page in this paper has got to stop putting the answers right next to the puzzles. It’s impossible to avoid seeing!

I’m ticked off I can’t afford the fine dining prices at McDonald’s anymore!

I’m ticked off at all the drama around wearing masks. Use your brain and just do what is best for you and yours and the heck with others’ opinions.

What is it with this state and, more specifical­ly, the towns of Windermere and Ocoee with respect to pot holes? They are all over place. The “patches” they apply only last for about three months. I moved to Florida from Pennsylvan­ia to trade potholes for palm trees.
