    A gift from Ike (can I retun it?)
    I bought gas Thursday for $3.43 (cheapest in forever) Friday was $3.99 and Saturday was $4.19 for regular unleaded :mad: I hope this changes soon. Notice the limit was changed from $30 (on Saturday) to $50 now.

    Since you have two pictures in your post, we'll let it slide in Viewfinder :) , but this might be better in Off Topic. Actually there's a thread going on this already...

    Yeah, crazy stuff. Since I only buy two gallons of the stuff a year (for the mower, car is a diesel) I don't pay too much attention to it but did see this here earlier today. No change in diesel prices - still around $4.05 but around Memorial Day when I paid $4.89 for the stuff, it was a lot more expensive than gas. Sigh...

    With a limit of $30 or even $50 it cuts into photography I'll bet. There, back on track! :D I've been meaning to bring a camera with me on the bike but didn't get a chance this weekend with the non-stop rain. Soon, or it'll have to wait until next year!

    Im sorry! Just back from a 10 hour day at the track, can it be moved or I can delete it and post over there? (Diesel is over $5 here!)

    No, it's fine - not a big deal. Now $5 for diesel, that's a big deal! :eek:

    Yeah it's been a really ridiculous spike around here; an increase of nearly a dollar a gallon for what amounts to basically nothing more than public worry - I've not heard of any major damage that would disrupt gasoline supply beyond a hiccup. It's ridiculous. Fortunately my car is a little four banger manual, so I've been cruising around in 5th gear and coasting down as many hills as possible, trying (successfully, so far) to make my tank last a few more days till this stupidity passes.

    That would be correct. I've been caught out in the rain and it doesn't bother me but I have a hard time getting started that way. Just pedal faster, you'll stay warm! :)

    No, he called it right! :D Would it be the getting cold and wet part, or thinking about cleaning all the junk off the bike and the chain that keeps me home? I better stop while I'm behind. Good thing I didn't mention that the camera I'd bring is a waterproof Olympus.

    Strange that gas has gone up for you and not for me. I filled up this morning with 89 octane for $3.75/gal. Not bad.
