    I'm not sure what' worse...the gas prices or the weather.

    It should be clear to the American public that the price of gas is not a fnction supply and demand.

    Adam Smith tells us that "the worth of a product is what somebody is willing to give up for it".

    Selling price of any commodity has nothing to do the cost to produce it.

    1999 Nissan Frontier V6. I can get @24 on the highway, but still between my wife and I our fuel bill is quite high. I try to limit it to once a week or so, weather permitting. Three weeks ago we were wearing sweatshirts and now it's 90+...Go figure.

    For me the last 2 months I've saved over $600 in gas as I haven't been able to go to work, and probably not for another month. Had a couple of seizures and now meds and no driving for an additional 90 days so the wife and I have been putting the money I would've used into a savings account. bites cause I haven't been able to fish, and I'm not supposed to be around anything sharp (no tying) or any heavy machinery - so this summer is really bad.
