Uh. And he actually expected them to??

I am surprised that they didn't run out of gas, they have some mighty big tanks.

I would just like to point out that 3 hours and a tank and a half ($25) of premium is very tiring for your back. Gas is $1.23 a liter so it's gunna start paying to think about something other than your 4 wheeled deathmobiles. Just sayin' is all...

Well, in my town, regular unleaded in $3.42 right now, which is above the state average, and the average of the city of buffalo, which is currently $3.29. When I was on the bus to NYC, I noticed that those lucky bastards were paying $2.92 in the suburbs and Jersey, and only $3.15 in the city.
Sad thing is, I remember when gas was under $2 a gallon.

I remember the first time it crossed $1/gallon, how *angry* everybody was. "This is ridiculous!" my parents would say. Little did we all know...

"35 cents a gallon"
Lest I remind you all that I was no more than a zygote at that time, or so young that I thought my parents needed to obey the "speed lemon" or they will get thrown in jail.
Strangely enough, my parents also talk of a day when a penny could buy you candy, and there were 5 cent hershey's bars, and Crystal Beach Loganberry...
Oh, to be old.

Oh, I forgot, you're half English. You grew up in the UK? I had a teacher who taught for a time in england, and still uses the terms "loo" and "mate"...

Didn't grow up there, but spent a fair amount of time there as a kid. Mostly, it seems to me, running around South Shields chasing after my cousins, but there must've been more to it than that...

Gas here lately is hovering around $1.10-1.15 per litre. My current car gets 30 MPG, usually, so its not too awful bad. Although a motorcycle this summer for the commute to work would be pretty sweet.
