Default High Gas Prices

Gas prices are on the rise again, Dont you think.

This could get serious if they continue this upward climb

Are you kidding?

$1.59 for 87? That's cheap by standards out here. Easily pay $1.80 for 87 if you are in the wrong part of town.

Yep, crude just went up $3 a barrel today. Probably expect it to go high as heck in the future with all this threat of war crap in the Middle East.

Hey Deuce - you aint kiddin' about the beach down there in San Clemente. I was visiting a buddy and we spent the day at The Fisherman's on the beach there. Great scenery - lot's of healthy specimens requiring sunglasses for proper inspection.

I heard them say on the news today that gas prices will be going up sharply over the next few months. So what? It's still cheaper than milk.

You guys down south are paying too much! USA on Thompson in Ventura was 1.51 for 87 today, and most of the others were around 1.53. I saw it for 1.43 in Oxnard the other day, but I'd never suggest that someone should intentionally go to Oxnard.

Take care,
~Chris

Gas is cheaper in Georgia for some reason, dunno why.

Don't laugh too hard Duece, if you've never been to Savannah then you're really missing out. That has got to be the biggest party town I've ever been to...
