Gas Prices . . .

[slick]

I was thinking of taking public transit into work a couple times a week but I'd be paying $6.50 a day for that ($3.25 each way). I drive about 40 kms a day and I'm sure the cost is about the same. Not only that but the bus that takes me from the skytrain to home at night only runs every 30 min so if I miss the connection, I get to wait around with drunks and duggies for next bus. Not a comfortable feeling.

It's up to at least $2.30 a gallon here now. When will it end? Are we going to see a repeat of the 70's? I vaguely remember that and sure wouldn't want to experience it. Got a taste of it at hurricane time, though.

I was just complaining yesterday on my LJ about gas for the car I just got..............$60 to fill it up. And I only bought the car so I could carry more then one dog at a time. I think the dogs need to come up with some gas money now. LOL

I wish, now, we had public transit here.........I think I'd have to take it.

It's so expensive now. I think in Tucson it's now around $2.35 a gallon. Alexa is going to get a scooter this summer, it gets about 100 miles to the gallon. If I could afford it I'd get one too, I'm sure over time it would pay for itself.

In Pittsburgh, the average price for regular unleaded is between $2.17 & $2.19 a gallon. Boy I wish I could keep my rental car, a Nissan Sentra, it has great gas mileage. As a matter of fact, a Nissan Sentra just may be my next car!!

What happened to all that Iraqi oil that we went to war for????

I remember reading all the bumperstickers that said, "It's the the oil, stupid".....

I'm still waiting.

Blame it on the OPEC, they are squeezing us because they don't like the idea of democracy and capitalism in their part of the world.

Blame it on the oil companies and then blame it on the people who refuse to have an oil refinery built in THEIR back yard....


Then BLAME GWB for making you buy that gas guzzling SUV.

I had a Sentra as a rental once (or twice, I forget). Nice car!

P.S. When is old blue coming home from the hospital?

I want to bike to work, the problem is the street I'd have to ride on isn't bike friendly. I'm too scared I'd get hit by car since it's the busiest road in town and there is no way I could avoid it.

boy, I understand that like youd never believe. My ex was hit by a car while biking to his last job, spent 3 weeks in a coma, 6-7 months recovery, and has lost all movement and 95% feeling in his left arm. We're thankful the guy was mature, he visited my ex in the hospital many times.

$2.25 here in SE Louisiana yesterday...

$2.50 in Seattle over the week end, it was $32 to fill my tank. Tom's truck has two tanks................ We used most of it to go see the tulips about 200 miles round trip. So to finish out the work week I have to buy it again.
