Oil prices surged today.

I've been driving for 30 years now. Think of all the advances in technology over the past 30 years. Yet, I get irritated every time I buy gas that I still pump gas the same way...and for the most part, my car doesn't run much differently than my parent's car did back then. Oh, sure, there have been some changes, some improvements...but compared to the other advances we've made, cars are basically archaic. And, we all suffer because of it.
