I'm really starting to notice the effects of these higher gas prices. In addition I have another vehicle on the road now that I used to not have to keep fuel in all the time.
I took just $25 bucks out of the bank yesturday evening, thinking awe that'll last me a couple of days. When my son left for school this morning.. I had a dollar left in my wallet. $24. for gas spent in less than 15 hr. Its killin' me!

| Lowering the speed limit does nothing but generate revenue..in my opinion...Its all a bunch of B.S. As long as "we" tolerate this crap..they will keep cramming it down our throats

In the paper this morning they were talking about allowing self-service gas which would save $0.7 per gallon.....In all these years I never knew it was illegal to pump your own gas in NJ....They were also talking about lowering the speed limit to 55 mph on all the main roads....
Yeah it figures another slap in the face. They soon will run out of slapping us down I hope. Should change the the USA to USPay. Ride Free. Abo

Gas sure aint cheap anywhere now. I've got an 18' runabout boat which has a v-8 motor. It's not gonna get alot of use this year at these gas prices.
Just as well hang on to our V-8's though. Don't imagine they're worth much for resale now! I'm not going to give mine away.

Even in "American" made cars, the US content isn't all that great. I know there is a place to check, but damned if I can rememebr where. (gotta google and see)
Now trucks are more American, because we us more of those kind of parts.
This now a global economy, hell even Chrysler is German owned.
