In the heat of summer people usually drive around alot more be it for vacations, or time off or summer camp. Regardless the reason one thing is Americans do drive more often in the summer. Another undeniable fact is that the gasoline we pump at the gas station is heated up due to the suns hot rays in the summer. Hotter gasoline makes the gas expand and therefore that means you get less of it when you are pumping into your car. When gasoline is delivered to gas stations it is required by law that they deliver the fuel at 60 degrees Fahrenheit. However, there is no such law protecting the people at the pump with temperature readings and adjustments which equates to people getting screwed once again at the gas pumps. This is something that doesn't surprise me one bit...it is just another method of screwing over the American people. It seems that only after someone is smart enough to point out that something has been messed up all along, is when anything in this damn country gets done. This almost warrants a direct law suit to gas stations to pay back Americans for the years of dishonest selling practices at the pump. Something needs to be done here, but I am sure nothing will ever come of it. Thats the country we live in...oh well.
households has a digital music player and now some experts believe that the music players have reached a saturation point. Also another theory is that their is an ever increasing demand for music players on cell phones. So various cell phones now do come with music players on them. The new iphone is a classic example of the switch that is being made to truly one device that does all. Apple is set to launch a new line of ipods later this year which is expected to lift sales slightly ... but most likely not enough. Other competition is also a factor, for example Microsoft's Zune player. I myself wanted to save for a video ipod, but will most likely wait to buy an iphone instead.
