With prices like 9 and 10 a gallon, how far do you drive to work everyday?  This is what's going to kill USA workers. The commuting

Up until the company closed that I used to work for, I was driving 150 miles round trip, every day.

Worse case I see building a new engine that runs on alcohol and I'll make my own fuel.

Thats why america is in Iraq. To take all the oil (weapons of mass destruction etc is a good enough excuse to go there). Instead of Bush charging what Oil is worth over there, he cranks up the prices more then triple of what you should be able to get it for.

O well - not much anyone can do about it, so no point getting a headache over it. Think positive, Bush will be dead soon.
  :blah: :blah: :blah:

Bush has been in office since 2000. Gas didn't skyrocket until the libs took control of the house and senate in 2006.

Filled the Challenger up last night.  4.199/gal for premium.

Regular is 3.97.

Tom :scared:

I'm rethinking my trip to Carlisle.  I was planning on driving down in my car.  It is 400+ miles each way.  I'm getting about 12mpg mixed driving now.  so about 275 bucks for gas to go down nevermind all the driving around down there.

FIlled up the UAV last night for $4.159.  For regular with a $0.10 discount for cash/debit. 

Yesterday, my boss handed me a paid invoice for 7500 gallons of diesel that was almost $35k.  Two years ago, the same amount of fuel cost us $18k.  And we burn through that in three weeks or less.  :eek2:
