Best fuel mod around right there...
I was just talking about gas with my wife today as I pumped 115 bucks into my truck. The prices could go to $6 a gallon and i'd still drive this truck everywhere, I love it and can't see myself driving anything else(except a diesel version)!

gonna have to respectfully disagree here. lighten up that right foot and drive oh, I dunno, the speed limit and you will see increases (unless you already drive that way). if you drive like an a-hole, you have no reason to bitch about gas prices because you are part of your own problem.
(that said, I know I dont drive that way....but I also dont complain about gas prices.)

People who try and tell other people how to feel and what to do really annoy me. I haven't complained about gas prices once. I love my truck so I'll continue to pay to drive it. But they are too high regardless of what you drive. If you can't see that, then you're blind.

If the price of gas ONLY was up most people would probably not complain much.

I want to premise this with... I don't like higher cost gas as much as anyone, but...
Gas is as cheap or cheaper now than at most points in the last 50 or so years. First you must adjust (historically) the dollar for inflation (and the falling strength of the dollar), then adjust for per capita increase in income. For example, in the early 80's (around 1981 I think because Reagan was taking office), when gas was $1.30 or so, which was more expensive for that time than $3.30 or so is today. There was a time in the late '90's that gas was way cheap (even cheaper than 1981), and people must now think that that was normal. Well, no, it was way cheaper than normal.
Of course, I would prefer $1/gal gas, but it is out of my control... and I will be keeping my truck, and be content about the price of gas (for now).
