Ren1227 When I meet up with friends, we usually just go out to dinner and then hang out at someone's house or apartment. I like going out to dinner because it allows us to catch up on all that's been going on in recent weeks and/or months. I don't get together with...

Gas Prices

katsmeow1213 @katsmeow1213 (28716) • United States 30 Apr 08

My husband mentioned to me that he heard a report on the radio from a gas analyst. This analyst claims that within the next 36 months gas will be at $10 a gallon here in the US. On one hand, I don't believe that's possible. On...

Ren1227 If gas prices went to $10 per gallon, that would cause some pretty serious budget issues. I already spend over $60 / week for gas since I have a fairly long commute. I suppose I would look more seriously into hybrids to try to save money on fuel...
