The highest I've seen in my part of California is $4.49! When I saw that I was like, "WTF BBQ?"

I lived in Riverside, CA for all my life.. Then moved up here to Maine because of the rising prices of.. Well..... Everything?

Gas prices here are running around 3.43 to 3.54 a gallon.

I have had people tell me to trade my car in for a new one. I just say 'Hogwash' I would need a car payment of no more than $68.00 a month to break even by trading my car, it will never happen. There is no savings for me to trade mine in for a newer car.

Just the other day someone joked that I had Mussel Car, I said no it is not a mussel car just a gas-aholic.

on my limited travels these days, prices are ranging between $3.45 & $3.99 here in this socialist state. btw, we can thank the 2007 democratic congress

for this mess...DN
