tempted to purchase a 500 gallon tank and keep it in my front yard. If I fill it up with 93 right now for $3.599 I should be able to make money all summer! 
Crap... that would cost $1799.5 to fill up

It'* really tough, especially when your car takes premium only, but you have to get around somehow. I go to school full-time so paying the bills is getting tougher. I don't go home nearly as much as I used to and I miss getting to see my family.

Our system economic sytem here was designed to run on cheap oil prices. The only way we can run with these prices if we do a complete structural redsign of our economy.

Yea actually starting tomorrow (after i'm done w/ college for the summer) i'm pretty much going to be riding my bike as my main vehicle. I can ride my bike to work, 1 1/2 miles. It would been a little longer to bike to school.
Whats funny is this little gas hike might put a dent in our country-wide obesity problem, more people riding their bikes and losing weight. Thats what I'm hoping for.

From www.680news.com
Looks like Americans are starting to conserve, or at the least use less. Maybe higher prcces is ok, I'd just like prices to stabilize.
The TSX energy sector came off a three per cent jump Tuesday to edge 0.3 per cent lower as the June crude contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange slipped 16 cents to US$121.68 a barrel. That followed news that U.*. commercial crude oil inventories increased by 5.7 million barrels last week, about four times as much as expected. Suncor Energy (TSX:SU) gave back 50 cents to $120.62
