Gas approaching $3.00

2. I noticed in hampton roads VA,
tjat the price jumped about 10 cnets. The place I normaly get it went from 2.16 to about 2.23. It was a surprise to see that kind of jump. I wouldn't be surprised to see 3.00 by New years

4. This is the type of thing that will finally piss off the fundie bush**
supporting crowd. When they can't afford to fill up the tank. Not dying American soldiers, not dying innocent Iraqis. Nope. When they can't get in their precious cars and drive all they want. When the price of gas puts a big crimp in the pocket book.

That's when they'll start squealing like the greedy little piggies they are.

I sure wish I had a copy of the White Album.

5. The preponderance of SUVs hasn't abated yet though
at least at a cursory glance. Any numbers on SUV sales, or vacations, this summer?

9. It IS putting a crimp in the pocket book of many
Americans but they have been so beaten down they don't get mad. Again if gas prices were this high under Clinton, there would be some ticked off people.

8. When their cable or satellite goes out
then they will become outraged.

Also, if gas prices were this high under CLINTON, there would be outrage because Rush Limpballs and his ilk would be pounding on it day after day after day after day.

I think Air America should do a spot on EVERY show, EVERY day,about how high gas prices are with two oil men as pres/vp. They should have a link to the website that lists the place for cheap gas in your hometown. Pound on this. That will cause outrage.

What I also don't understand is why are people still buying gas guzzling SUVs and other such vehicles?

Buy SCOOTERS!!! 60 mpg!!! I filled mine this morning for 1.84
