I really know and understand that people want a change and want what is best for our environment but cars are a very important type of transportation. Gas prices shouldn't continue to go up because then only those with more money will be able to afford gas which we have to consider those with less than us. More and more ways and types of fuel are being made so our environment will be cleaner and the fuel we use wont do the damage regular gasoline does. So please think when you say you want gas prices to go up just because YOU feel the need to change. Find another way you can put a change into your life. Many of us in the world like to budget money, not splurge it. Think about others before yourself. Thanks.

I'll have to remember to check this thread again in a year and compare fuel prices.
Ugh. Just think how depressing it was this time to realize that in 6 months it's gone up nearly a dollar a gallon. I want this thread buried unless prices drop back to a dollar a gallon!
^ Me too!! Was thinking of looking for a realtor in whatever state that was! I paid 3.09 this morning. And it's climbing...........
3.09! I just filled up at it was $3.39 a gallon here in northern Maine.
