My mom was telling me that there is a community that did Coop...basically they pooled all their money together up front and bought enough gas barrels to use for the next year. They plan on doing this for as long as gas is this high then this way they only have to pay the price it was in January.

Can you believe though that gas is up over $1 since January? We were pretty low back then...now its $1.20 more per gal.

Gas is like $3.17 here. It's crazy how the prices just keep going up and up. Pretty soon I'm not going to be able to afford to drive.

I have to get gas in my car, and I'm dreading it. It's about $3.19 here, and I saw a station up in the foothills asking $3.24 for regular. Unbelievable! They keep taunting us saying that they think it's peaked here, and then it goes up again.
And we're all stuck between a rock and a hard place here because public transport sucks, and we are truly reliant on our cars.

It sure doesn't seem cheap to me!
My car is running on E and I am dreading putting gas in tonight. I have a feeling that $20.00 sure won't go much over 1/2 a tank!!

On Sunday we took a trip to see his family and there was ONE gas station in the 200 miles that was $3.08. We stopped on the way back, but so did everyone else.
We were tired and cranky and decided that it wasn't that worth the wait.

But yea, every 2-3 days the price creeps up here. I'm up to $33 for my little civic. I was to laugh the people that drove big trucks and SUVs here. No I'm
