I will pay $3 a gallon and be happy as long as I have a job. It beats the hell out of $0.89 a gallon gas and the unemployment line.
i remember paying .89 for regular back in 1998 i saw regular as low .7x

I remember that also. It was approx. 2 weeks before they laid off 1600 people at the oil tool company I worked at.......hence my position.......I will pay $3 a gallon as long as I have a job!

I hear that in some states (Cali I am sure of it) Gas prices are supposed to hit 3to 4 dollars a gallon. Right now it varies from 1.96 to 2.10 for 87oct. I do rember when I started driving and I saw gas for 73 cents. Just think we all thought it was high when it hit $1.00 so just get used to it guys. I guess we could all start walking then maybe prices would go down, or buy a honda insight. I dont know just my .02

I paid $2.85 a few months ago, so $3.00 wouldn't suprise me. I'm just so glad I got those 4.10's installed in time for this....

Hey guys I say we all start ridding bikes and walking, Then playing on the weekends. Well I guess a motorcycle woudnt be to bad. But if we dont buy the gas then The gas company's wont be making any money. So there for they will have to lower the prices to get rid of the gas. If we could get every one in the US to do this we would kill the company's. We could show them, but I doubt every one would stand for this.
