Gas Prices

Yes, but it was you Tim behind the wheel of that yellow spec car going flat out through riverside over 100mph. I made a mistake by looking in the mirror. Of course by the time you were already on top of my bumper and I almost went strait off backwards

Mirrors distract !!!

I was really impressed and have to admit that was nice driving.

Forgot this is about the gas. My two cents to the gas price is: it is still cheaper as I use to pay in Switzerland in the 90's @ approx. $4.50/gallon. These days, it is more like $6 - $7/gallon.

Comparing it to switzerland is not really apples to apples since you are paying so much in taxes. A pack of gum would be $10 here if the gov't decided to add a $9.75 tax.

In Lyons, France last November, we rented a minivan to drive around and see some castles. The rental for the day was 110 Euros (about US$140) - bad enough, but the scary part was that if we brought it back empty, the refueling charge was another 80 Euros - $100 for about 16 gallons of gas.

We don't know how good we have it here.
