Just heard, local gas supplier announced to its employees, $1.50 a gallon price raise tomorrow.

Just when we started to enjoy the nice $3.50 a gallon.

Looks like the yukon might be getting parked in favor of the 89 350 4x4 long bed. the yukon gets 10 mpg city, the brown truck get 18 mpg city. It's ugly, uncomfortable, but trust and gets good mileage for something as big as it.

The jeep might rarely see driving, at this, it doesnt do well as all.

It's not hte oil pumping, it's the oil refineries. They are shutting down due to the hurricane. They can keep pumping oil, but if they can't make it into gasoline, we are screwed.
