Tell her if she can push it around the block she can have it.

It has been $3.30 for the last few days.....

Nope, just direct her sight to the tonka toy department.

Just hit $3.14, I wonder if opening fishing has anything to do with the .15 cent jump in 2 days before the weekend.

I hear ya! So you know what she tells me next? She goes..."I thought instead of going away for vacation you might want to buy a boat you always wanted. One that we can go out on and do some fishing and maybe sleep on with the kids during the summer on weekends. Ya know....cook in the galley and have a bottle of wine up on deck...enjoy the stars. That sort of stuff.

This chick is crazy. She went from a Lincoln continental to a 26 foot cabin cruiser that sleeps 4 with a gas tank large enough to fit into the friggin Lincoln.

I just said sure honey and to stick it up the gas stations butts on land and water, I'll work double shifts and weekends just for gasoline. Heck, I'll just run the lawn mower, weed whacker, and the snow blower 24/7. Ya know...that way I never have to bother starting them up when I need them and have to fool around with that choke and pull start thingy.

I said it really nice and with a smile on my face. To my surprise she caught wise to my sarcasm and I had lentil soup from a can tonight for dinner. From a can!

If she wasn't so hot I'd get rid of her......but I guess were buying a boat. Lentils suck!

I certainly think it does. You want it they got it. You need it you pay for it.

It is getting to the point if you accidently drive off you may be facing a felony. I do think that it is pretty sad that for many people that work for minimum or close to minimum and you have to commute any distance your first few hours of work are going to just pay the gas to get to work.

Speaking of accidentally driving off.... I once was at the gas station and filling up, and my friend was filling up his truck in front of me. While I was filling up I added washer fluid, checked the oil, and just shot the breeze with my friend. Well as we go to pull out he does a little burnout, and of course I am laughing and pull out right behind him. Everyone is yelling and waving their arms, and I am still laughing because they are yelling at him. Well I was wrong they were yelling at me, I had drove off with the gas pump still in the car!!!! I had to stop the car take it out and walk into the gas station where I dropped it on the counter. I knew the kid working there and he made fun of me a bit, but said to just go ahead lol. I was pretty embarrased, but couldnt stop laughing!!!!!! It was without a doubt the second most classic moment of my life! I know this is a bit off topic, but I just remembered the story when I saw the whole "drive off" thing. Dan M.

Today we hit $3.19 a gallon. That means in 6 weeks we've looked at a $0.40 per gallon price increase.

Holy hell It's not even Memorial Day.
