$6.00/gallon isn't too bad if you are driving one of these around.
I've seen these "Smart Cars" all over Europe.

The price of gasoline could rise this summer because of supply problems from the phaseout of a fuel additive found to contaminate groundwater, government and industry officials said at a Senate hearing Wednesday.
The additive, methyl tertiary butyl ether, or MTBE, accounts for about 10% of the volume of every gallon of gasoline with which it is blended -- or 1.4% of the nationwide supply -- but refiners plan to stop using it next month because Congress refused to grant them protection from lawsuits.

Will probably be $3.50 to $4 by the 4th of July.
$2.41 in west Phoenix. One stupid excuse after another. I wonder what the boiling point will be this time? Last year it was $3.00 before people started raising hell.
see thats nice 4 for 4th has a nice ring to it
They'll just blame Bush and the evil oil companies anyway. People have become totally brainwashed and are unable to think for themselves.
I paid $2.47 at lunch time today in Mobile.
Same here in West Michigan at $2.75. It was a bargain finding a station at $2.59 the other day.
And don't put too many miles on their wagons. When my dad was a kid, he lived on a dairy farm. Each day he delivered his milk to a place seven miles away. Took most of the morning.

im sure ill be paying 50.00 for a pizza but having food once a week should work wonders on my diet plan
$2.50??? LOL, I paid $2.53 this afternoon, it's been at that price for over a week here, I figure by summer it will double!
Maybe you can get a tax write off from the feds if you promise not to drive.
I have no sympathy for people driving their USS Behemoths around and then complain about rising gas prices. If you want to drive one of these monstrosities, that's fine by me. It's a free country. Just don't bitch about the price of gas.

yeah real smart you can spit across europe

And unfortunately, ethanol is far from free. In fact, it's more expensive right now than gasoline, and will only go up from here as demand (artifically mandated by government) rises.

I wonder how it would look going down the road behind a MAC and in front of a Peterbuilt.
True.
The one bit of good news is that BP's refinery in Houston, the one that blew up before Hurricane Rita hit, is just about to come back on line.
That should help because it's one of the biggest in the country.
Mostly a car for cities. Didn't see any on the Autobahns.
