Gas prices
Im paying 1.59 for gas now and i live about 15miles from down so it kinda hurts my wallet. How high would gas prices have to go for you guys to stop driving your big gas guzzling trucks?

Just kidding, I drive my truck to work and onto the construction site. The company pays me mileage from the office, which usually covers all my gas. When I don't get paid mileage, I will drive my wifes car.

We have 3 fullsize trucks and a Buick, so filling up ain't cheap no matter what we drive. I quit smoking a year ago because I couldn't afford to buy cigs AND gas.
Guy at work offered to sell me a diesel VW Rabbit for 400 bucks. Shoulda jumped on it.

Hi Wiz, you have got me thinking. How do you tell the difference between the grades of gas as far as performance? I am thinking of auto engines where if it doesn't ping, you don't need a higher grade of gas.

Geez $4.00 a gallon that's tough and I felt bad at $1.73. The fuel for the race car is $6.00 a gallon and the car get's 8 gallon's to the mile, but that's just for fun. I can't imagine $4.00 a gallon every day.

I have seen prices between $1.75 and almost but not quite $2 for regular in the past week in Oregon.
I think all the gas stations are waiting for someone to take the plunge over $2, and then we will see a flood of over $2 stations.
I am sure we will see well into the $2 range by summer.

OK, I did the math. I drive 350 miles/week to/from work.
My truck (paid for) gets about 14.5 MPG.
If I could lease a car for $200/month (no other costs except fuel and tires, oil) which gets 25 MPG, I would start saving money to do it when gas gets to $4.60/gallon.
If the car gets 40 mpg, the break even point is $3.00/gal.
I think I'll wait.
