    $116 to fill up my truck. And prices are going to continue to rise all summer?

    We may test the breaking point for a lot of people this summer. I don't see how someone that makes $8-$10 an hour and needs a car to get to work, etc. is gonna be able to do it.

    Is there a problem here? I pull 10,000# trailers and can't do that with a ing Prius. It has a performance chip in it and it has to have premium or it pings.

    Just hire 50 unemployed Americans to pull that thing rickshaw style. Good for the economy, good for the planet!

    Thanks for pointing that out....

    I know you were joking, but for the less intellectually gifted in here that would probably pounce on that statement the trailer actually only weighs about 2000# but the loads can be 8000# plus.

    Today's news has the average price of regular at $4.16 in my state, that makes Premium more than $4.36 average. Probably $4.40.

    You believe Obama is responsible for these prices?

    Just the last two. Hardly enough of a trend to claim conspiracy.

    The Bus. I did it. I hated it, but I did it.

    A motorcycle. I did it. I loved it, and I did it.

    Having been in a motorcycle wreck I can attest that motorcycles are great right up to that last second when they aren't.

    Eh, they say that there are two types of motorcycle riders, those who have been in a motorcycle wreck, and those who haven't yet.

    I came extremely close within 6 months of getting the bike. By the time the guy stopped I was able to kick his bumper as I passed . I went and installed a highway blaster horn on my bike on the way home.

    Anyway, I understand that concer, but there is another option (bus). In addition to that, they could set up a car pool.

    I will freely admit that it probably won't break the oilco's hearts if Obama is defeated in November. He hasn't exactly been friendly towards them.

    Seeing gas prices raise during spring isn't particularly a new occurrence, it's these obscene es. I suspect that uncertainty about the next election plays some role into speculation.
