I'm not for taking it away from him, he invested well and should be rewarded for it, but for oil to be this high. This is absurd!!
That's what I was trying to say...the rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer. It's not going to get better...in anything.

Gas here is $3.749 to $3.819. I fill up at the Co-op and I use a member's card so I really don't pay attention to the price of gas. We're just billed for it at the end of the month.

My husband filled the tractor the other day and it was OVER $700 and sometimes he can empty a tank in a day!!! Next time you go to complain think about what the poor farmers are paying for gas!

I did the same thing with Ricky, Gina. He wants to drive..he pays for it ALL. He bought and paid for his used car with money he's earned. Now that he's working part-time (hopefully more in the summer) he has to pay his insurance, gas and plates.

Gas here was $3.89 this morning. I don't know what we're going to do. I need a smaller car, but I love my van and there is so much room in it. I can haul darn near anything. I need to check again and see how many miles per gallon I'm getting. Been quite some time since I checked and I just don't remember.

It's over $4.00 in some areas of Indiana. I haven't been out to check prices lately here locally.
