Okay back on topic:
I remember when I got my license in 1991 gas price for regular was 95 to 99 cents. 2002 was not bad at all at $1.50 those prices will never come back

High Gas/Diesel = Lower Standard of Living for everyone

I've been saving all kinds of money lately. I haven't put a drop of gas in mine since last thursday
I used to bitch about filling up a toyota back when gas was .59 a gallon back in 1985
