Wow! I thought that 3.34 cash price was bad enough. The cost of gas and oil is really cutting into where I go and what I do when I get there.

I thinking boat. The car is troublesome in that you need it to get around.
The boat is painful at 50 gals a pop.

Anyone know whether they make a roof rack that'll fit a Toyota Yaris?

$100 barrel again http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080320/oil_prices.html?.v=7

Notice no-one has said anything much in the news that oil has lost $10 a barrel in the last week...

Futures for MAY are way down...LET'S see if the price of fuel drops now. I suspect not. Heating oil is still 1/4 dealer profit no matter what they're making their money. Some towns are paying ~$2 a gallon for diesel while it's $4.23 a gallon at the pump here. Everyone got their hand out.

Mid size isn't bad that's like a lumina, or a taurus size. I'd drive those. I won't drive them little crapcans though I think they're death traps.
