$4 gasoline is coming

Re: $4 gasoline is coming
For example - 300. Cover that distance at an avg of let's say 60 miles/hour. Exceed that, and your bonus is decreased.

Indeed, And they often have unofficial "deadlines". They better get there by then - or face not getting the next gig.

Re: $4 gasoline is coming
An MPG set of gauges is not the "magic bullet" for all. It will be, though, for some. And that alone makes it worthwhile.
$4/gal won't solve our massive issues - I agree with that. But some people WILL more strongly consider MPG when they get their next vehicle, if the price of gas continues to rise.
I had just this conversion when I shopped for my last car. I've NEVER been an MPG freak before. Once gas hit $3 (Katrina), I made the leap. Before that time, I was considering the Mazda MX-5 (Miata), Saturn Sky/Pontiac Solstice, Honda S2000 for my next car. I was really looking to get another convertible (to eventually replace the MB 560SL) and upgrade the MPG a good bit. My biggest concern with those little convertibles was (and still is) their tiny trunks! I was not concerned about getting only 25-28 MPG on my commute. I am now - and have become MUCH more aware of the problems caused by our oil gluttony to boot.

Everybody on this forum should pray that gas goes to $4 a gallon to drive home the point at to sit in the cat bird seat to boot.
It's not going to happen. Still holding at $2.65 here.

Re: $4 gasoline is coming
$2.65 would likely be the lowest price in the country.

That's really odd Livvie.....
Looking at this page:
http://www.newhampshiregasprices.com...s&tme_limit=48
The lowest listed price in Manchester is $2.88.
This AAA page has the average at $2.983 today:

That station offering gas at $2.65 must have a line around the block. Wonder how long the line is at the $2.30 station - must be several hundred cars long.

go here and type manchester nh.
and the 2.30 value is not in NH
Also, I didn't buy from the 2.60 station, I bought from hafners which is not being sampled on that site.
