Gas prices?

Hey Boys, I remmeber saying back in 74' that if gas gets up to $1.00 per gallon "I'll sell my cars and boats and just ride my bike".

Well, I only have added my Cobra to the fleet and still do ride my bike, but just for exercise. I hope the government ups my social secuity check to cover the increase in gas before I die.

Oh well, I can dream!

Gas prices change here almost every day. The price will go up 10 cents per litre (40 cents per gallon) one day then begin to slide a cent or two each day, then bounce back up another 10 or 12 cents. Regular is selling for about $4.20 a gallon right now but it could be a lot more tomorrow.

I don't do a lot of mileage in my Cobra so I don't think that the higher price of gas will change my driving habits much. The price of gas hurts me a lot more when I fill up the Explorer however.

I'll cut back somewhere else if I have to.

NOT in the amount of time I drive the Cobra!

Didn't buy the Cobra to worry about gas prices.

Something else may suffer but NOT my driving time in the BEAST!

The cheapest I remember gas was 19.9 cents a gallon. When it hit $1.00 a gallon I wanted to scream, now I'd be happy for $2.00 a gallon. Sadly we have the oil in our own backyard, just aren't allowed to play in it. I'm wondering how high it will have to go before people change their minds. There are tests out now that say E-85 is actually worse than modern gasoline.
