Re: Gas Prices

I live in central MA and every year around July 4th there is a usually 5 day long Summer Nationals car show with all sorts of events day & night around the city. Last year there were 6000 vehicles & 200000 people. This year expecting 4,500 cars and has been shortened to 3 days because of gas prices limiting how far people will come from. This will be an economic hit to the area.

Re: Gas Prices

one thing that a lot of people are doing is working four 10hr days instead of five 8hr days.
saves gas.

it sucks though, because all of a sudden we have to completely alter everything about what we do.

gas is my biggest expense.
more than RENT
this is bad
bad bad bad

Re: Gas Prices

I'm going to ask my boss tomorrow about letting me work 4 10's rather than 5 days a week. Not only will it save on gas, but it'll give me an extra free day too. lol

Re: Gas Prices

thats not an option for me. gas is gonna hit the 5 dollar mark this summer, and i'm not gonna be able to afford that. i drive a saturn and i spend at least 160 dollars in gas a month, i'm sure it's more like 200. This is crazy, can you imagine next yr around this time it will probably cost 6 bucks a gallon! it goes up a buck a yr now days.

Re: Gas Prices

Well, my car has almost been parked for 2 weeks now. I'm finding other ways to get around. I will not buy this gas anymore.

Re: Gas Prices

thats what we need to do stop buying gas. If a big group of ppl across the country did this, i am sure they will find a way to brink gas prices down. I want gas prices to be below 2 dollars like it was when i was 18. If gas were that cheap i'd start buying more car parts!
