Gas Prices!!!!!

We chose a very modest house for retirement so we wouldn't have to worry about high taxes and scrimping to get by.
Greg and I are both very simple people which is in our favor right now as we will be able to retire with no mortgage and about $100 a month for taxes and insurance. I don't think we could get by much cheaper than that.

$3.50-$3.85 on average.

Paul and I commute together as often as we can.

If I could walk everywhere,
I would...
when my laziness becomes more expensive than gas,
then I'll walk!
LOL!

Paul wants to dig out his bike!!
LOL!!
(That'll be the day! LOL)
Laughing

I laugh,
but,
its so sad.
Sad

$3.55 here and my car just needed some fixing up.
Sigh... this is what i get for being an 18 year old with a minumum wage job (which I have been at for 3 years and should be getting $9 to be a "manager" when my boss "can afford to pay me that much") and buying my own car.
For a '97 Mitsubishi Galant, it doesn't do as well on gas as I had hopsed, just 22 miles per gallon....

But at keast I'm not living in China or Hong Kong.
A few days ago out tour guide had said that gas is like $8 in Hong Kong!!!
No wonder they have so many bikes!

Our idiotic legislature here in S.C. passed a law about two years ago which allowed the counties to do an "automatic reassessment" whenever a property was sold. Essentially, everytime someone sells property, it is a guarantee that the property taxes will go up! We have so many second homes on the coast here that real estate is suffering anyway, but talk about putting a huge damper on the real estate market! Of course, the taxes on beachfront property is already obscene - who wants to buy something knowing it's going to go EVEN HIGHER??????? Rolling Eyes

There MUST be a solution! I course I drive a Tahoe! EEEK! Not a good decision!

Lynn that was funny. I can't belive how out of control it is all getting. Something needs to be done. But we all need gas to get to and from work, school and so on.

JUST SUCKS!1(sorry if that wasn't very nice to say)

$3.45 here in Albuquerque. And... the price of tortillas is going up because all the corn is being converted to ethanol. I don't want to pay more for my breakfast burritos (with chorizo and red chile) and chicken enchiladas (smothered in green chile).

...Oh, were we talking about gas prices?
