Yes and yes! I've now started telling my kids..."that's gonna cost $5-6 to go there and back and you want to me do this trip twice today?" They are starting to get the message that it really does cost just to jump in the car and "run over" to whathisnames house!
Of course we may feel good about the current prices in the near future...
Think gas is pricey now -- how about oil at $200 a barrel? :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Nation
(Gas predicted to spike to $200 a barrel).
I know someone who is paying close to $10 a gallon right now in the UK.
I was thinking about whether I'd do what one of the engineers I work with is doing...riding his bicycle to work one way most days of the week - that's approx. 23 miles a day - he started doing it to lose weight and now he says he's going to continue (he's lost the weight) to save on gas.
And on another note, would someone get congress off their patootie and change the d*** gas consumption requirements for Detroit? If Japan and Europe are selling cars now that do 45 miles to the gallon (albeit small cars) then why can't US mfgs give us better mileage before 2015 (and only 31.5 mpg by then at that!!!) ?????
Tell me that!@
Have a pleasant, gas free, serene day everyone!
