What makes me mad is that the price is being driven up in a most unnatural way. I just want to do my part to make them pay for their greed by saving as much as I can. It's bad enough that I'm an air conditioning contractor that does most of the commercial service myself and that extended van full of toolsI drive during the dayonly gets around 8 miles to the gallon. It tickles me to death that two of my friends in the campground have new 4 cylinder chevrolet malibus that get even better mileage than my old Taurus and we are getting to the lake (about a 5 hour trip) to our little campground for less then $25. Since we're doing this I'm assuming others are doing the same thing. This will cause these investors to lose their butts if we keep it up. The market will eventually work I believe. I'm just helping it along. And my one friend with the 4 cylinder Malibu works for GM as a tool and dye guy. He also has a diesel Silverado with the Allison tranny. It's gotten rediculous to fuel up of late though.

How can you afford the expensive food or the $5000 a gallon printers ink when you're fueling up at the costs we're paying?

 

Bottom line here is, if I couldn't afford the gas, I wouldn't have bought the truck. WHen I'm broke and destitute, I'll complain. Right now, I'm enjoying my Hoe.

 

I have to take back my post. It is not a technical discussion and so does not belong to this forum.
