Couldn't find the post from before but the gas station near my job changes price before closing... 3.75 a gallon. i am contemplating getting a prius right now. from what i hear its suppose to go way down by the end of the year but its going to be hell until then.

Gonna be local cruises for me with the Tri-5 - - - I can't afford to do those 4-5-6 hour turnaround jobbies anymore Exclamation

Those Power Tour people are really going to get hit hard in June Exclamation

If it gets much worse, I'm selling the 55 Sad

no sense in just watching her sit in the shop Sad

Even with 25 mpg with the Yoda, it's getting to bite hard at the pump and make you schedule your trips or cancel them Sad

If the price of gas does not come back down to reasonable, this will be my last Power Tour this year.

The up side of this is that if I do not go on the Power Tour anymore, I can afford to put a big block in place of the 283 that is in my car right now. I can afford a big block for local cruising, just cannot afford to take high mileage runs with the big block.

Gas for my low comp 350 is around the high $3.50 range, if not more already. It costs me about $20 to get from school to home.

The problem with that is, is that our wages haven't risen as much as the prices have.
