I have really given up on caring about the price. I am just pissed about all of the taxes that are in each gallon.

I just passed a station on the corner and it was 2.85, it was like 2.73 a day ago. Yeah that makes sense.

Had to love the colbert report tonight:
"When material costs go up, so do profits...it's econ 101" "Buy low sell high...buy high sell higher"

the acetone trick doesn't work, just you driving more consevatively.

But then again I'm getting 48 mpg out of a car that was rated at 38 mpg highway, engine was rated at 102 bhp, now putting out 140-145 bhp.

just gotta burn ALL the fuel........

So they lobby for yellow conservation.

You Sir are correct!
