Gas Prices?
Well gas is $3.19 here in town, $3.15 in the closest "city" 60,000 people and just across the ole mississippi river in minnesota it is $3.02. Yes they are high, but don't sound bad compaired to what some of you are paying. Here is how I am saving on gas and actually have been doing this for the last 3 years. Once the low temp hits about 45 deg, I ride my Yamaha Zuma moped/scooter to work. Since most of the jobsite that I work at are within 5-6 miles of my house the little scoot works great!
Like right now the jobsite is 5ish miles from my house, so I have a 10-11 mile round trip which isn't very much. But when my work truck only gets 10-11 mpg and gas is over $3.00 it adds up. Right now is costs me about $16.00 to drive my work truck the total of 60 miles a week that I put on going to and from work. But with the Zuma that gets 85-95 mpg it only costs me about $2.00! Granted the Zuma won't win any races since it tops out to about 42 mph with me on it (200lbs) and 45 mph with my fiance riding (135lbs).

2.89 here now, 2.85 at walmart 15mi down the road. im gonna look at getting me a small bike, like a ninja 250, this summer. im only 16 so i need to find out how much insurance would be so i would know if its worth it or not.
Why can't it already hit $4.00 a gallon? All this speculation and taunting of it, do it already mother****ers.
Everybody knows that the price of gas is just something we have to deal with, nothing we can do about it. No matter how high it gets, we will all still buy it. Sure our CI's might change to help dimisish the cost, but hey, I'm all about buying some of Exxon's stocks
