Our gas stations around here are generally a bit high though...if you want really good prices, you have to head over to Rt. 1 in Trevose--Wawa always keeps the other competitors low. 3 months after 9/11, the big chains tried to up their price to $1.029. Wawa held firm at .959...the big chains dropped back to .959 after a few days.

In the end, I would imagine we pay the same amount for gas as our peeps in the UK pay for petrol over the course of a year. They tend to have smaller cars--more fuel-efficient. Evil moronic Dick Vermeil worshipping asshole Chiefs fans like Ep want their SUVs.

No, no, no...I don't want an SUV. I *want* a fucking 500 HP Corvette. If I'm gonna get shitty gas mileage, I want to get it at 150 mph.

What I *really* want, though, is my camper, and it is big enough that it needs to be towed behind something, hence an SUV. I tried towing it behind a Lamborghini once, but do you know how bad a camper sways once you break 100!?

As I often say, I'm a bad Pagan. I don't have room to recycle, I drive a vehicle that is getting (after actually driving a full tank without towing anything) 19 mpg, and I haven't planted a tree on purpose since I was 14. But let's not forget that those same Brits who are now apparently driving rubber band powered carbon fiber and spider silk shelled vehicular contraptions are probably using gasoline only for flavoring their otherwise unremarkable cuisine. Meanwhile, with my SUV, I can pile about fifty pounds of ribs and a smoker into the back end, toss in six cases of beer and four lawn chairs, and go hang out in the parking lot of Arrowhead Stadium in style, eat like a king, and watch Pittsburg get their asses whipped this Sunday.

Well...okay, I could do that if I had a job and could afford the scalped tickets, the $20 parking fee, and the price of spareribs and beer.

Finally, need I remind you all that there are few who have suffered as long or as strenuously as KC sports fans? Thank the gods that football season got going before the Royals tanked. Sigh.

Oh...and guys, I would worship Geraldo Rivera if it would get a Super Bowl championship to this town. One more advantage of being a Pagan...you can worship the most evil beings possible and still come out smelling like a rose!

Gas continues to drop here. I paid $1.36 yesterday.

Got gas in Jersey Saturday for $1.6something but I noticed they had diesel for $1.37 which surprised me because diesel has been way up too.
