[Re: That old thread- Price o' Gas was: Getting into the USA]

While I don't get pissed at paying $1.839 a gallon for Exxon 93 here
in PA, the $200 a month I spend on gas ($205.54 last month alone) for
the Kompressor does piss me off. It's slightly cheaper across the
bridge in New Jersey, but not worth the $3.00 toll.

If only Mercedes sold the C30D AMG diesel sports coupe over here....

efficiency!

This news report lists the $2 price point for regular as a shock. In
my region $2.25 is the norm now a days.

Funny, I was just reading an old car magazine, and they were concerned
that it had gone from 66.6 to 66.9 cents, that's US gallons, and the
year was 1978.(gas crisis # 2 I believe) Other prime issues were the
indecency of an article in the previous issue about making whoopee and
which cars had the most useful back seats for the purpose, and if the
Trans Am (at 3700 lbs) was the best sports car ever built, and ads for
radar detectors as big as a box of Kleenex. Prices are up here too,
but I don't burn all that much fuel, despite the fact that I drive
constantly. Cathy
