I am not sure but I think gas weighs a bit less then water, since water is the most dense thing on earth.

I looked it up myself and found it weighs 6 1/2 pounds. Still if I only fill the tank up 1/2 way which is more then I'll use on a good weekend I'm cutting out 520 pounds of extra weight (6.5 x 80 = 520). Its the little things I do for the enviroment.

I thought Bush & Chenney drove up the gas prices because they were big oil guys. So why is gas now at $3.00?

A couple weeks ago I was paying 3 bucks for a gallon of gas. Stopped at my local gas station yesterday as me and co. were leaving for the Skins game and noticed it was 3.30. WTF?
Yeah it's creeping up again. But it's not like it went down that far any way.

I don't know about that. I think a few Warpath posters (or former posters in the case of joetheismanfan) could qualify as the densest thing on earth. Certainly, we have a few in the top 10.

Well no need to start a new thread so. F*ck Gas prices. Funny now that Bush and Chenney are gone the left is pretty quiet about the sharp rise in gas prices. I filled up yesterday and it cost $78.00. I'm sure this will cut down on how much I use my boat this year and not many free rides for friends. We will all have to chip in on gas.

bring back the good old days. my first gallon of gas was $0.30, my how times have changed.
Fortunately I don't have to do much driving anymore, sometimes thirty miles a week. When I burn the first quarter tank I fill up again.

I think part of the problem is that we all got spoiled with historically cheap gas prices inthe 90's. Cars built in the 90s took advantage of that and now were paying for it. I filled up at lunch for 3.65 (Kroger Glen Allen), which is a ridiculous price. 2.50 -2.85 should be the norm now-a-dayz.
