Well, the good news is that Saudis told opec to **** off the other day. they walked out of an OPEC meeting because chavez and iran want to start producing less. Saudi said neg, we're not ****ing our customers atm. Which is smart - the worse gas gets for us, the more we're going to dump into either renewable/cleaner/better sources, or start pumping our own. I'd prefer the former personally, but yeah. Lets start pumping natural gas from off shore and where ever else and get some more natural gas cars going. Cleaner, currently MUCH cheaper

I and a few others here remember when every gas station carried leaded gas and the spare change in your pocket would have you cruising all night.

Seen a gas joint here earlier today and it was 4.29 and the pumps were bagged. I honestly can't believe gas has gotten so high. Yesterday when I got off work it had jumped .30 since 6:00 a.m.
this is so crazy
