i really cant complain. i get what i want, when i want. if i wanted more money, i would work harder. i feel really bad for the people who cant go out and do anything because they have no money. when i was growing up (im 20 now) my parent didnt have much money and had 4 kids. we went out to eat maybe 2 times a month. we cut costs where we could and kinda got by on the rest. now i use all the money saving tips my parents taught me and can afford what i want. if i dont have any money i find i really dont want as much. maybe we should all just want less.

Pssssst... me thinks you'll be over 40 and still not growed up yat!

Just wait till you get married...thinking with that other head will get you into the workforce seriously! Usually in this world You work and then you get money! You and your peers think not; just hang around you'll all be replaced by all sorts of ___cans ie (mex) that can work.

FWIW fuel has come down here. It was up to 4.65 a couple of weeks ago. Now its 4.47, but gas is coming up about the same rate diesel is going down.

I noticed that too. I saw a station today with diesel for $4.49. Cheapest I have seen in weeks! Still too damn expensive!

The floods in Iowa causing a shortage of corn, will cause a shortage of ethanol and drive the price of diesel and gas closer together. It's really not a good thing considering they are both way too dang expensive.

We need to take the oil in Iraq as payment....

2 words = Mr. Fusion. oh wait. Mr. Fusion only powers the time circuits.
i got to say i'm disappointed. i wouldn't mind paying so much for gas if we flying cars. i mean come on, remember the 50's, they said we'd have flying cars, and vacations in space.

Oh y'all are going to love this. Evidently Libya is toying with the notion of cutting production and of course we hit close to 140 in trading over just a remark, imagine if they actually do that. And we have the president of OPEC saying that prices could hit 150-170 before summer is out and then he says they'll retreat(I doubt that).

I just filled up today $4.09/gallon

Can you say DEAL?

This still SU#KS Big Donkey BA##S!!

I'm just happy that I have my transfer tank in the bed. Every time I'm out of town I can fill up for about 20 to 50 cents cheaper per gallon. Now my truck holds a total of 87 Gallons.

i've seen a few stations around here that have diesel for 4.29 and i saw one station that had it posted as 4.09. right now i run my truck on the regular unleaded that's about 3.44 a gallon. it's an f150 4.6, so not a diesel, in case someone thought i meant i was putting unleaded in a diesel.
