my grandpa tells me the same story every time gas prices are mentioned
he has this gay rhode island "yankee" accent
"when i was a teen gas was 17 cents a gallon"
and it goes on and on and on  :lol:
hes like 68 now


My dad does that crap too, it is hilarious!  I spent 10 bucks and filled up the car and took your mother out for dinner and a movie!

Old Bassturd! :lol: 

When it is your kids, and gas is 50bucks a gallon: I spent $1000 and all I got was a kiss on the cheek! :lol:

I hope it drops that low, but I have a bad feeling we may see it go up again.  We're still around 4 bucks here.   :(

Where are you at? It may be worth my while to leave cans empty until I get into OK to fill them up for the dunes. Still 3.50 here. COuld save a possible 8 bucks.

I tell people that alot. That is why diesel is more common in small cars there. And... cars are smaller/more efficient...ie. fugly. :lol:

You don't have all the income taxes we have, either. :P :lol:

Diesel is more exspensive then petrol here, hence the reason my dad had his BMW 840ci converted to LPG (Gas) and as for the income taxes you don't even know half of the BS we get stuffed with tax here.

diesel is more expensive, but you get better fuel economy. Are taxes going up? UK used to be a retreat for celebrities who don't want to pay income tax.
