Re: [DML] DCS'12

I remember 25 cents a gallon.  Yes it will go up as most other commodities.  But speculators and the like are raping us..  My 25 cents worth...

  I don't think Bill was refering to anyone in Louisiana when he
  mentioned gas prices. There were several people across the USA that
  would have driven to DCS had gas not been $4 a gallon earlier this
  year.

  I find crying about gas prices to be amusing. When I was a kid people
  cried about gas costing 75 cents a gallon. When I was a teenager they
  cried about it costing $1.50 a gallon. When I was in my 20's they
  complained about it being $2.50 a gallon and now people complain about
  it costing $3.50 to $4 a gallon. In two or three years people are
  going to be crying about gas costing $5-$6 a gallon. Gas will always
  be "expensive" and I'm not going to let such a small expense cause me
  to sit around at home the rest of my life.

  I drove about 1,400 miles for DCS. At about 25 mpg and $3.50/gallon I
  estimate my fuel expenses to have been $196. Honestly, most of the
  time I didn't spend more than $3.25 per gallon and one place was even
  $3.03.

  I find my $196 fuel expense to be extremely cheap compared to the
  thousands of dollars people spend on big screen televisions and play
  stations.

Jim Reeve drove all the way from Minnesota).
