We should be looking at alternative energy sources. There is so much available. The US has tons of natural gas which is much less expensive to use as well as solar energy and wind power. As a nation we need to reduce our dependency on foreign energy sources. Living Green, you are so correct. We should be looking at alternative energy sources. There is so much available.

Every time I think about how much gas is costing us, it just makes me mad. Our country should be moving in the right direction to cleaner sources of energy, but we continue to worry about gas prices. With the economy struggling now, it pushes the issue even further back. More people are now in favor of further drilling just because it would be a short term fix to our current economic situation.

I don't figure that I really end up saving anything so I just fill up along the way. Grace, I think it might have to do with living in an economically depressed area. I believe that the state gives tax breaks in this area but I am not sure. Our prices here for everything are lower than just a few miles north but then salaries are lower too.

No other place comes within 3 cents of it. So no shopping around for us. If I go out of town, (meaning over 50 miles) I always top the tank on the way back as it's always lower in the valley than here on the coast. I don't figure there is any savings.... Anything over $2.00/gallon - where it was a year ago - is just an added expense :( Here in town the lowest prices are always at Freddies with their customer card.

My local grocery store now gives discounts at thier gas pumps-the more you shop, the more your gas discount.
