I`m trying to forget these prices...
I heard about it just before all the station when up and got a 1/2 tank/$35 in the 98 Ranger.
Then I started thinking about all the fairly empty vehicles in my yard at home....
From now on I can only drive something that already has gas in it.

Just got 1000 gallons of gas and 2000 of diesel a few days ago. Cripes, its getting ridiculous! Someone said they heard prices for gas could be 1.60/litre by summer!!

Has diesel gone up lately?
I haven`t bought any for the last week and I`m not looking forward to filling any of my storage tanks.

we might as well quit complaining about it though...it don't change a thing, and we're starting to sound like a pile of old women...

Yeah, I heard $1.40 by summer's end as well. It's already up there out east as far as I know. Local radio guy was doing a national gas price round up the other day. This isn't fun anymore....
