I feel for those with big SUVs! 

I don't. :-X

Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in...

I don't.
hehe, I didn't actually, not sure why I said that!
Unfortunately, a lot of people don't conserve unless they have to.  How many people in the US would buy SUVs if they knew gas prices would be a minimum of $3/gallon going forward?

I don't know about the rest of the US, but here today gas was $2.41 but gas stations were extremely busy all day. Stopped in one and the clerk told me it had been crazy since yesterday with rumors that gas is on the rise. She said the station ran out of gas last night!! Tonight gas went up to $2.59 right as I was filling my car, so I still got it at $2.41... who knows what it will be by tomorrow night!  :-\\\\

Was STILL $2.99 when I drove past the gas station at lunch time.  Guess it's only going to go up from here....  :(
When I am grown-up I will understand how BEAUTIFUL it feels to administrate my life effectively.

Until then I will continue to TORCH all correspondence that bores me and to dance NAKED over the remnants of its still glowing embers.

I don't think the west coast has been affected yet. Still 2.83 at Costco today.
