5. HA! I beat all of you! $4.09!!!
Edited on Tue May-13-08 08:06 PM by Journalgrrl
I had my first real gas-related conniption fit this morning...scraped change for $ 10.75 worth...and I got 2.6 gals!!!!

My wallet has sprung a leak it seems, and the siphon is linked directly to the tank. I live rurally and work 3 jobs, can't telecommute yet, but this is getting really BAD! :scared:
I am so broke, i don't know what's gonna go next...
my folks have been paying my utilities for months now because I can't even get food on the table

I wish I could just get a horse and carriage! ...and my own dairy cow!

15. Now that's an idea....
But seriously, they're planning on larger vehicles if they get the company off the ground.

I wouldn't be surprised to see plug-in all electric SUVs in the near future.

10. if only that were the case here...
Edited on Tue May-13-08 08:25 PM by nerddem
we could always rely on jersey gas being way cheaper. but a couple of weeks ago, jersey gas jumped all of a sudden and has been closer to pa gas, which is waaaay lame for me.

edited for drunken mistyping.

20. We've made up for it here in PA and NJ, it's up a dime in two days.
