I'll go out now. $3.25/gal would not be pretty.

1. What do you drive?
Is the obvious question.

3. If that's a high priority problem with you, then you don't have problems.

6. It's like the stock market
Just refuel when you need to and don't waste your mind worrying about getting it for the best price. There won't be one.

I'm tempted to buy a five-gallon gas can and fill that up too.

8. Buy now & then try to economize.
By the time prices go down, you'd probably need another tank.

9. Go for it now...The supply may not be there in 2 weeks.
Walk, bike, and public transport wherever possible.

10. I was planning on getting a chili dog before my favorite
stand closes down for the year....

Can't do. I can't justify driving 40 miles to get a chili dog when gas is over 2.75 a gallon......

Sigh!

Not a huge sacrifice mind you but .......

I waited all summer to get that god damn Chili Dog ......
