    The $4.10 US Gallon here is for 87... I don't want to see the 89 or 91 (and no, we don't have 93 anywhere here)... :(

    haha. gas is 5 cents in iraq so i've heard.gas prices a skyrocketing. yesterday they were at 2.51 and today they rose up to 2.70 for regular. shit this sucks. To make matters worse it has been hot as hell lately. We have been hovering around 100 to 112 degrees lately so it has been shit down here. and the heat index jumps from 109 to 120 so yeah it sucks. High gas prices and heat don't make for a good combination. turns out my mom had another fan added to the accord so the A/C could cool down better as well as the engine itself. so now it has three fans on it.

    money saved is best and having to pay less means a bit more change in your pocket.

    I went out on my lunch break to check for gas and a smal handful of stations (3 that I found) hadn't raised their prices yet, so I filled up there and waited in line, wasted my lunch break getting gas!

    The reserves are used only to alleviate the fact that some refineries that were affected by the hurricane arent producing....its basically a loan, but with oil. The refineries will owe the reserve oil, with interest.

    I saw that same clip yesterday morning when I was watching the news. That is very heart felt. I don't think I'm not moving any further south than what I am now. Maybe to Atlanta, but that is about as far as I'm going.

    i cant really think of a single safe place to live in the US....the great plains area is plagued with thunderstorms and tornados, the northeast has blizzards and frigid winters (and its much more expensive compared to here), the south gets hurricanes every year, wyoming is just one huge volcano so every state around it is doomed, seattle sees rain all the time, the pacific coast gets earthquakes, hawaii fears tsunamis and other tropical storms, alaska is just alaska....

    Haha, Alaska is just Alaska. :p

    Just think of a city thousands of miles away from anything at -50 below zero and electricity goes out for 4 weeks. We get some heavy earthquakes, but the thing is there isn't much population spanning out across the state. Alaska has the most number of active volcanoes than anywhere else. There's the population factor again, not many people around these things...

    Anyways, yeah it's sad what these people go through. Same thing with the tsunami in asia. It's a sad part of life.
