Gas prices are seriously crazy. My sisters significant other brings up gas every time she takes the five minute drive to my house.
Additionally, Every time someone says something like ‘gas hit $3.xx today’, my brain wants to correct them and say no you mean.. 2.xx right?..
No one is going to boycott driving. Or that’s what they said a few years ago, but as it turns out, my thighs are a bit on the thick side anyway, so I bought a bicycle. Won’t be boycotting, hell I own an SUV, but i’ll be supplementing.
As to the question, gas or gambling. Buy the damn gas man! As if it were ever a question. If you can play poker and win, then you’re not gambling, earn gas money. If you’re gambling, get the gas, then do the gambling 
. Long walk home from the casino.
Or better yet, yknow.. stay home. Gamble online.
