local prices here are averaging 2.43 to 2.63 for regular.....I'm hoping the Pilot/Loves gas stations are much cheaper in a week and a half (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

I'm guessing I'll be lucky to get 15mpg in my truck if I tow the 914.....close to 900 miles round trip......ouch....

I'm really looking forward to filling up the Uhaul in the Yukon at over $1.00 a litre and 7mpg. Oh well it's only money. At least I'll be up in Alaska to try and cash in on the mini-boom that will come when the open ANRW.

So I've heard that gas prices could get close to $4 a gallon by the end of the year. They tell us this so that when the price settles around $3 we feel like that's a good price.

Regardless we in the US have had it to good for so long that it's just gonna hurt a little at first but if you want to drive you'll deal with it.

I remember in high school they used to tell us that the worlds oil reserves would be depleted by 2035. Should be interesting when it does actually happen.
