Luckily I always budget more for gas than need be, but these prices certainly aren't going to help anything.  They went up nearly 20 cents overnight where I'm at.

Gas here was $2.99 here and yesterday it went up to $3.04 and then last night it was $3.19.  I just wonder where it is going to end going up.  People are going to get where they can't afford to buy it just to get to work.

In July-Sep  2009 the gas price here was 4:36 I remembered that because we had to travel to Atlanta twice one in July and the other one because we were evacuating because of Gustave (The hurricane) and I think the gas price would hit this limit again because of what's happening in the middle east and if this happen in the Gulf countries the gas price would raise and raise and raise

that is great that you walk 12 miles a day.

I am not real healthy right now it seems to me as compared to what I have been able to do.

I do a lot more then others so in that respect Im sure I am still healthy.

I just have lots of pain and keep on doing whatever I can which is less than what I could do a year ago even.

I dont want to have to get a new knee. I want to be able to rebuild them myself.

Then I could walk 12 miles. cause I used to walk 3 hours on the elliptical.

That is the same prices here, I saw it was $3.19 this morning too. We must be in the same town. I am in Fort Worth Texas. I keep telling my spouse I want a bicycle, but he don't think it is safe.  :peace:

I had been driving slower for the past few months anyway because of gas prices.  Thankfully I only have to drive to work twice a week which is an hour and 1/2 both ways plus $4 in tolls.  For the past few years I've only been letting the tank get to half a tank so it's a little less painful in my wallet to fill up all the way.  Now I will think about taking the train to work if it fits in with my schedule.

Gas prices in my area jumped from $3.19 yesterday to $3.29 today.
In the neighboring town, it ranges from $3.18 to $3.43.

OUCH!

I am glad my commute to the job is only 2 miles and the commute to my online business is just down the stairs!
