I have noticed that whether it be 11am or 3pm on any given day of the week, there are LONG lines at Costco to get gas. Friday’s and Monday’s seem to be the worst where lines run out to the street. There are a lot of people filling up who are not dressed as professionals, so I have to wonder how long they can continue to fill up their Escalades, Expeditions, etc if they are either not working, stay at home mom’s, or working in blue collar jobs that are more likely to suffer from a consumer depressed outlook.
I know of a cleaning lady who barely speaks any English who’s husband works construction. They have 2 small children. How is it she can afford to drive a Toyota Sequoia which I believe is a 50k car and gets 13/18mpg?
