I saw it today in Lansing Michigan for $3.50/gallon for REGULAR...

My car takes mid-grade and it is $3.60 here today... I feel bad for people who's cars take premium... it was $3.70.

UGH... I am so over it... I am buying a hybrid! (It will be seriously considered when I can afford to get a new car)

are things EVER going to get back to normal?

sources in Dubai say that the United Arab Emirates only has another 20 year supply of oil - (that includes all of their international holdings)

we'll have to think of something else to make our plastic bags and dvd's out of won't we....

[A_DeAngelo]

now having an effect on increasing food prices at the market - LA hits national high today as food prices have risen over the past year....

any guesses why?

maybe its time to buy a farm and raise some chickens and tofu and stuff...

anybody know how to milk a cow?

Whats normal?

Being able to fill up your tank without having to take out a second mortgage.

Just paid $3.20 today for Reg. gas. My 4 cylinder car gets used now all the time. I have a high performance car that doesn't move all that much anymore since it need High test gas.

all this talk about higher prices at the pump having an effect on food prices here in LA got me thinking (and hungry yesterday) so.... I got out my old French made bread making robot and made some home made wheat bread to go along with Cam's home made beef stew... only 3 hours and 20 minutes and all I had to do is load the stuff into the machine - how easy is that?

damn, home made bread is so good I'm making it from now on

Cam mentioned something about the electricity used to power the machine but in the end, I think we'll be saving on the bread end of our food purchases in the future - specially with the price of a store bought loaf at $4.00 (+-) and a specialty store around our parts charging $6 or $7! -

but god forbid, all those extra carbs will end up on my obliques if I'm not careful - I guess that I should try not to make my old croissants

[ponyboy]

Can you mailed me a loaf of bread please, I love home made!

[A_DeAngelo]

home made - man made - come on by for a slice of the best PonyBoy...

thing is, we just spent the day in the car doing our rounds and doing the valley - it always takes forever and the freeways are packed with one person drivers (not paying attention because their all ON THE PHONE) - but we tend to be among the few dual cars and eligible for the commuter lanes -

I nearly puked while stopped at a light and watching a brand new cadillac escalade get full service at $4.15/gallon (two guys sprawled all over the car cleaning and wiping and filling) while two of the hugest and largest pigs stuffed their faces with fast food throwing the wrappers out the fricken windows!)

where is the fuckin' country heading?

[ponyboy]

I wish I could come out there and break bread with you! I love home baked bread, when i ran a food service company I used to love to roll it out, watch it raise and then see it turn golden brown!

Try a few hours on the 495, thats the long island express way, 2 mph if you are lucky! I don't understand it because there are trains that go into the city just about every 15 minutes during rush hour.

Got to love the people that can afford to fill up a giant SUV

NEW YORK (AP) -- Gasoline prices set more records at the pump Friday, while gasoline and oil futures prices turned mixed after the previous session's big advance.

Retail gasoline prices rose 1.5 cents overnight to a national average price of $3.129 per gallon, a new high, and have risen 26 cents in the last month, according to AAA and the Oil Price Information Service.

Analysts blame strong consumer demand and a spate of unexpected refinery outages for the high prices, and say it could be mid-summer before they ease.
