$2.85 here in Va hasnt changed yet. I dont really see why the heat would have anytihgn to do with it i would tihnck that more people would be staying insdie so less gas buying i recon.

I filled up at Fred Meyer today for $2.96, but most of the stations except Fred Meyer and Costco gas is up around $3.20, and it's actualy down a little. I'm contemplating buying a scooter for zipping around town. It would actually be a decent idea considering the town and what I'd like it for.

i agree i wont sell my truck for ne thing. i love it. as for a skooter that doesnt sound to bad. but these prices are rediculous. i would just love for gas to go down to like 1.50 or something. i'd start filling up any container that holds gas.

the perfect combo is a motorcycle plus truck. my bike gets 50-60MPG and costs nothing to maintain yet when i need a pickup its there for me. i figure my average household gas mileage between the 2 vehicles is 40MPG so even with a gas guzzler im doing pretty good. and gas here in Manteca CA gas has been over $3 a gallon for several months, and good gas (cheveron or 76) have been at about $3.15 /gallon

Just to put everything into perspective, the best price I can get for Regular Unleaded here in London is 96 Pence per Liter. To save you all trouble of doing the maths, that works out at $6.95 per US Gallon! Luckerly, I only use the truck for pleasure as I have a motorbike to get to work. In fact, I recently down-sized from a 800 to a 250cc, just to allow me to enjoy the truck a bit longer!


Enjoy it whilst it lasts!
