How do you guys afford paying $4 - $5 a gallon???
What do you drive? How do you get around?
Right now I'm paying about $20 ever 5 or 6 days to fill up. When I was in college I was paying $1.00 a gallon and could fill up my car for $10 - $12.
Price of gas....

It sure was good to see prices last week under $1.60 when I was in Arkansas & Texas. I wish the prices were like that here.
I guess I can wish in one hand & s*** in the other ... any guesses about which hand will fill up first?
Meanwhile, I'll keep rolling along in my V-8 powered, full-size, American-made 4x4.
Hey ... anyone here seen the "What Would Jesus Drive" propaganda? My guess is that he's drive a Suburban, or maybe an Excursion. He would have needed enough seats for his 12 buddies, and he would have needed off-road capability (roads were poor in old Israel), and he would have needed towing power for his boat.We know how he liked fishing with his buddies.

Elsewhere, you'll note that the extreme prices ($4-5/gallon) were from England. Our European friends have long been paying much more than us "Yanks" for petrol.
Every time I hear someone suggest that we should be paying the same prices here, I wanna horse-whip them.

Just in time for my new gas hog. We have sold our fuel efficient Toyota Sienna minivan and will be taking delivery of a new Ford Excursion in about two weeks. I figure with the 44 gallon tank it's going to cost about $80 to fill it. Fortunately, I don't drive much so it should last about three weeks or so. Just call it Valdez...
Yeah, but we're also paying about $150.00 a WEEK for health insurance
Amen...that is precisely what I pay and it sucks.
