As prices keep increasing, I find that I am using my teleporting power more and more. Are you bringing Adriana back?? Some analysts are predicting that the price of gas will reach $200 a barrel by 2010 (its currently $123).

Phew, I'm not quite that bad, Babe. I have two gas eaters. I know, it's not very "green" of me, but I'm an enigma. A Lincoln Navigator, which I fill up about once every two weeks and a Cadillac Sedan DeVille, which I fill up about once a week. So, all-in-all, about 120-130 gallons a month.

I can understand people's frustrations that's for sure. The other day I got gas at a nearby station during my lunch hour. As I was waiting in line, a lady comes in and tells the clerk that her pump didn't work. Turns out the lady (evidently) gave the wrong pump number and $10.00 to the clerk and someone else pumped her gas. The clerk was really very unsympathetic saying, "I can't do anything about it". The woman is saying "what about my ten buck?" I really don't know what the clerk could have done, but she really just blew the lady off without even looking into it. I can see where an incident like this, with prices as high as they are could cause a person "on the edge" (or not) to explode. TIS

I did the same. I'll never forget what just about every customer said: "$2 worth." Yes!!!! They'd drive up in their big old metallic boats and ask for "$2 worth of regular."

Don't laugh, but I remember as a teenager, cruising around with friends (the lucky ones who had a car), digging up all of our pocket change for gas. I think gas was, at that time what? About 35 cents a gallon? Everyone chipped in a quarter and we'd be crusing around for a couple hours. Ahhhhh! Those WERE the days!! TIS
