$3.69 yesterday in SW Ohio. Looks like we won't see $5 this season. Maybe next year.

I'm getting 53+ mpg. 
20 bucks to fill it up and it's still lasting me 2 weeks between fillups.
I no longer care about gas prices. Bring it on.

Don't count on that. It's not even Memorial Day yet.

Check your IRA, 401(k), or pension fund. You might be surprised.
The politicians and the mainstream media like to use "big oil" with their so-called "windfall profits" as a whipping boy. Truth be told, here's how they really stack up among the various industries: http://biz.yahoo.com/p/sum_qpmd.html

Holding steady @ $4.28 in Anchorage, AK.
Let's see how long that lasts.

I'm hugely expanding my garden this summer.
Let's see government tell me I cannot grow my own food on my own land... carrots, potatoes, beets, lettuce and many varieties of peas grow extremely well here.
Most of this is great winter food I can store in my 45-degree cool winter garage.
