Its sort of like when we asked my grandmother if she was planning on quitting smoking if cigarettes got over $5 a pack.... and she said she would still be smoking when cigarettes were $5 a piece.

Not really.

Starting June 20th, I'm going to work in the oil feild. My first post-college job. The higher the price of gasoline goes, the more I'll make.

If anything, I'll be driveing more because I'll be haveing to move, liveing to far from work to walk to work/school, and makeing alought more money than I do now. (anything is alought more than nothing.)

What high gas prices?
Ever been to Europe?

BTW if you drive a shark, high gas prices are the least of your concerns...

Yeah, I drive the 928 all the time now. It gets almost twice the MPG as our Durango, and it's twice as much fun.

Listen to "Schocki"

6,38 $ pr. gallon in Denmark - and it's going to get worse if you guy's at the other side of the pond do not start to increase your fuel-deposits
