I have an electric car - the only way to go, that uses Duracell’s.

I also have a Vespa that gets like over 77 MPG.

Those are my two main methods of transportation besides the Subway.

You're a fool if you have anything less (more).

Here in Lawerence Livermore Lab we are waiting for the price to get between 8-10 bucks a gallon cause that is where Dr Chu wants it to be. Dr Chu left Lawerence Berkeley Lab and went off to work back East where he had a much better chance to acheive his goal.

Back down to $3.99.9 on the Arco I drive by on the way home in the evening. That total drop of 56¢ since the outrage began.

So gas is now $3.21 a gallon around here and I have a 10 cents off a gallon with my Safeway card. Naturally my SUV is still nearly full as I've been driving the old Subaru because it's great on gas. With the store gas rewards you can't use it to split between 2 cars. :(
