And going up higher. Erggggg, I have to drive the gas hungry pickup truck on the 1,360 mile trek back north in a couple weeks, that’s gonna hurt. Besides filling up the golf cart, I haven’t seen a gas pump since I tanked up the truck in Altoona, FL on January 3rd.

Last time the convertible needed gas, price was $3.12. Both cars still have half tank, so good to go until sometime in April

Price oil under 100 bucks now. Funny how price goes instantly at pump but takes weeks or months to come back down. Gas at pump should be less than 3.50 gallon, but the greed don’t work that way.

When I left to visit family out of town on Friday, I had to pay $4.59/gallon to top off the tank before getting on the highway.

When I returned yesterday, I saw the same station showing $4.25/gallon.

It's not optimal for sure. I'd love to see gas prices lowered. Heck I'd do a big happy dance and buy everyone a round at the bar if prices got down under $2/gallon.

But as long as people rely on oil, the oil refineries will have us by the cajones. There's absolutely zilch anyone can do about it OTHER than start encouraging and using alternative energy sources.

We drove up to Homosassa Springs today-first time I’ve been off-campus for awhile. I feel bad for anyone who has a Diesel engine. It was around $4.59/gal.

BTW CFrance, funny meme. : - )

Alternative is great for going to the grocery store. We like to travel. Big trips. As in driving from here to Alaska and back. No way to do that in a battery powered car.

FYI, If you people not driving your vehicle for weeks on end or driving short trips because of gas prices,
put your battery on a trickle charger to keep it charged up.

As John Lennon might say

“Imagine” if our Gov would promote and subsidize oil drilling, speed up building transportation pipelines, and invest in technology to convert coal to a clean fuel.
Gas would be $1 gallon and home gas and elec bills would drop.

Inflation would be history, national debt soon paid back from energy export sales, and the USA would be the energy powerhouse of the world for the next 100 years.
