They sell gas in high school now? No wonder kids are "burning the midnight oil".

But, seriously folks, I can remember gas at .32 a gallon. Imagine that. 10 gallons of gas for less than what we pay for a gallon now!

The awakening moment for me was last night when it cost me almost $20 to fill a gas can for the lawnmower!!!

It's going to get much worse before it begins to get any better. But I'm even worried about where "better" will be.

I was in Indiana last weekend and it was cheaper there than here. Why is it that, for the most part, the Soutern states see lower gas prices?!

I filled up Tuesday night and it was $3.98...my Kroger card got me a dime off. Some stations here are reporting over $4...

I say we suck ANWR drier than Ted Kennedy's martini, and build nuclear plants. Enough of being driven to extinction by tree hugging, toad licking, pot smoking, deodorant avoiding, shampoo boycotting, soap abstaining, hydrophobic, Che loving, global warming nuts.

The crying moment for me was last week when it cost me $69 to fill up my Altima!

Two major factors are distances from refineries and local and state taxes on gas.
