| Still $2.69/gal here. If this keeps up, I'm going to have to find a second job to pay for gas. |

mUj0's been riding his bike to work.... 
hehe. I live .25 miles from work 
The way the economy/gas prices are and are going to be...I'm definetly rethinking buying a new car/SUV/truck. My whole theory is the governements are raising gas prices for a reason. So that eventually everyone will get fed up with it all and start buying hybrids/hydrogen/electric cars...they're trying to usher in a new age of transpertation, forcefully. But this is just another 0f mUj0's crazy theories. My mind wonders at all times. yarr!
on another note: Who wants to move to Venezuela with me!

They can pry my truck keys from my cold dead hands......no, wait, thats my gun.
Gas here went up to 102.9 a litre the other day, a 10 cent a litre increase in under 2 weeks.
Greedy oil companies 
Just did the calculations and thats 3.89 per gallon, if I convert it to US dollars thats over $4.00 a gallon were paying.

It's around 2.69 here in Texas.
Personally I hope it goes up to 40 bucks a gallon. That will make it brutally obvious to the rest of the people that instead of buying a hybrid piece of crap, or some irritatingly small japanese car with 200 miles per gallon, that gasoline HAS GOT TO GO.
Long live General Motors and their Hydrogen cars!

they ship and refine oil here so its cheaper in NJ 
ill check the price next time time a drive by a station.
although it was a little cheaper in the middle some place in virginia.
the funniest thing is i saw 2 guys waiting in a line that goes out to the street just in their new BMW and Audi just to get some no name gas that is 3 cents cheaper. almost every time i drive by that station, theres always one or two like that.

ya, hydrogen fuel cells are the way to go. the only problem is the membrame is so expensive to make.
you can also use solar and wind power to get it. but the demand for hydrogen will probably be too high for just those. we can always shoot off nuclear waste into space

Is it weird that I ride my bike to my job as a driver for United Business Mail? It is 2.5 miles and takes me about 10 to 12 minutes, depending on the busy street I have to cross.
