What really bothers me is the fact that the government has us so well trained now that we all think that 2.83 is a good price! We actually have looked forward to and rejoiced that the gas dropped to this amount.
What is next? It will skyrocket to 4.00 so we will think that 3.49 is great??
This is crazy. Give me the days when we could drop a 5.00 bill in the tank and take off with plenty of gas for the day!
Well I took a peek today at the gas prices out there and sure enough...yesterday, 2.83. Today: 2.85. Doesn't look like much but any climb up can be the begin of the rise. yikes!

Saw a great greeting card at Target last night. I was looking for one for my sister and couldn't help see a "Now That's Funny Card" with George Bush "Taking stock of the situation"... opening the card he was ordering stocks of "Exxon, etc."

I laughed..
ok, ok..now you did it...I'm on the floor laughing and the dog thinks I'm crazy again! :lol: :lol: :lol:
:? ok, just had to find something funny in all of this so I lost it for a minute. lol I am better now since I remembered that I just dropped 30 bucks in my tank yesterday and still need gas.
It's up to $3.09 again and I feel it climbing as I write.
I"ve been running to Genesee Depot the past 2 weeks for pet care. I was tickled to find gas there for only $2.77.....as the week went on it dropped to $2.74
Sullivan the gas has not come down below $2.84
I feel like I'm getting a huge deal at $2.74 right now!! I'm sure something will happen to burst that happy little bubble I live in though.....gas will go to $5.00 gal so I view $3.00 as a deal.....sigh.....

It's really sad how our minds have been played with over the gas prices....and we have been conditioned to thinking anything under 2.85 is reasonable now.

Crude prices jumped after assassination of Pakistani opposition leader... wow surprised here and Bush is now on another Middle East tour through 1/2 of Jan.

I didn't need much gas this morning when going past the gas station but a feeling I had to fill up made me go in. I was glad I did. It was still at $3.19. When I drove by a short time later it had jumped up to $3.25.
Heard it will soar to $4.00 a gallon for most the summer if not more. Just in time for everyone to go on vacation.
I so want to just jump in the van with my kids this summer and do a road trip for awhile but with these prices all we will be able to do is drive down the road and come back.

The sad thing is, Americans will continue to suck on the teet of the oil companies regardless of how high gas prices go.
Why are other countries so far ahead of us in alternative fuel technologies?
Norway has a 'hydorgen highway' with H fuel stations that produce hydrogen right on the spot.
France has a car that runs on compressed air combined with gasoline. It takes an hour to fill the compressor, then can go 90mph and gets about 100 mpg with an 800 mile range per tank.
Brazil long ago switched to bio-fuels, using sugar as their main ingredient.
Why are the US automakers so far behind these other countries? Are we so image conscious that we need to prove our 'manliness' by driving SUVs?
The same thing happened in the 70s when Detroit continued producing LTDs, Impalas, etc while Japan was producing fuel efficient compact cars. You think we would have learned our lesson.
