Never quote Bush, all of his speeches include oxymorons and redundancies, and follow no rhetoric. Worst speech writer on the face of the Earth.

I use a Flexcar, I never pay for gas, so I really never look at prices.

Hmmm... Flexcar looks really cool. Too bad they aren't in my area.

Neat idea, all the same.

Anyone read about the hydrogen powered rotary engine Mazda came out with.

Produce hydrogen by separation of hydrogen from water from a solar panel system outside your garage.

Technology is already here, we just need to wait until it's perfected and oil companies don't want any more money!

Hmmm. It looks like flexcar costs around $68 dollars a day, whereas even with gas at $4.00 a gallon I should only need to use about $60 to fill up my tank which lasts for half-week to a week... how does this save money?

No repairs, no maintenance, and your helping the enviroment by only using what you need, when you need it.

Lowest here today: $3.29
Highest here today: $3.64

Gas prices may very well be the death of the suburbs/urban sprawl if the prices continue to rise.

Ah well, still better prices in the U.S. than back in the U.K.

Up here in the Great White North gas is selling for $1.04.9 Cdn per liter.
One liter is approx. one U.S. quart. That makes it $4.19.6 Cdn per U.S. gallon.
The rich get richer and we get stung.

We're lucky , because after the Civil War the Chickasaw Nation threatened a rebellion against the U.S., because of this, the U.S. signed a treaty so the Chickasaw and Choctaw nations wouldn't have to pay ANY taxes, to anybody.

This is good for me. For I am an oil distributor, regulated under the Chickasaw Nation, thus, I don't have to pay any oil tax or safeguard oil, so our gas prices can stay around $1.50 - $2.00 on shortages.

Only the Seminoles acted like (were) Plains Indians, i.e. the uncivilized ones, the Choctaw, Cherokee, Creek, and Chickasaw's lived like the white man 100%.

Hmm, $2.77 a Gal (US) for regular unleaded here just north of Birmingham, AL seems a bit better than most but...summer is almost upon us so the great excuse of supply & demand (ie: price gouging) will drive prices up yet again like spring break did. Ugghh!
