BINGO CindyDawg. I thought I must be the only person who thinks like that. When the gas prices were at the highest, I didn't see less vehicles on the Houston loops which told me we weren't as bad off as the media tells us. It was costing me all of $2.40 more to fill up my tank. (but hey, I whimpered about it just like everyone else) :o)
Yeah, I griped about the pocket change too. It wasn't so much that I couldn't afford it but that I felt somewhere, someone just taking advantage of a situation. Kind of like when 911 hit. Prices immediately went up, doubling. The owners got checked real fast though. I just got even this time by dropping to the cheap stuff. I think we have been had. My car runs just fine on it. I haven't switched back yet:')
