Heard on the news gas hit record high today per barrel and will go higher. Time to sell the pickup and look for a Jeep or something.

The Sand Sled is now for sale... I will get something else - full size - for towing and beech creeping but I am wasting miles on the truck doing 80-90 miles round trip per day just commuting for work...
AD in the Classifieds shortly...
BTW - two things I have done which improve mileage, drive 65-70 on the hwy instead of 70-80 - worth 2 mpg on average, and the other thing was to get a Scan Guage ( http://www.scangage.com/ ) which allows me to watch my instantaneous mileage and drive more efficiently... Between the two I can push into the high teens on the highway... |

you went and bought a Ford when you already had a Chevy that got good mileage 
take the wifey's car to work 
it's 2.79 here in Middleboro so I filled up at 2.69 in Easton today, and of course the pump stops at 75 bucks because I used my card at the pump  didn't even fill it up  |

Ya well sunoco was the station that was 2.79 in Middleboro, the sunoco in Easton was only a penny cheaper at 2.78
the Mobil was 2.69
75 bucks to not even fill up hurts.
Last summer I remember putting 100 dollars in once when I was on fumes, ONCE!
Easton is full of yuppies  |

$2.69 today at the Hess next to Mike's shop--cheapest in the area.
$3 by Memorial Day? Try by April 30. It's been going up at least a dime a week since early March, and there are stations that are already in the mid-$2.80s.
In what other industry does a price increase in the raw material it's made from, that hasn't even been delivered yet, result in an instantaneous price hike?
