OMG Gas prices

I can't believe overnight prices jump 14 cents. I filled up last night at 2.73 for 87, This morning when I stop to get some coffee I see that the price is 2.87 for 87.
I'am glad that my little POS get's over 400 miles to the tank.. Will this ever end or is it too high to even start thinking about it??

Yeah, it sucks.

I hope maybe some of this money would go to help those in need there.

I am thinking about riding my bike to work, its only like 8 miles on flat ground, but I am a lazy fat ***.

I am paying nearly 3.15 in the city right now. And because of that, I'm headed tonight to go look at a couple of scooters....too bad I cant ride my bike to work (would be dangerous) and PT doesn't go where I need to go efficiently

I may be going to Costco gas for a few weeks.

Also its labor day weekend.. so people are traveling and gas prices go up around holidays with three day weekends... But Katrina might also have an effect on these outragouse gas prices..
Costs me 2.95 for 91 at beacon.

All the more reason to ride your bike, a couple of months of 16 miles per day and I bet you'll lose a few pounds, my commute is only 1 mile each way, so even when I ride to work I stay a lazy fat ***.....
