Gas prices
 
Today crude prices closed at an all time high of $90.60. Gas prices
will follow it pretty soon. You would have already seen a $0.10 cent
increase in the last ten days. I have posted some articles and ideas
in my discussion board - http://groups.google.com/group/cheapstuff

Please feel free to join and post you comments and ideas.

Re: Gas prices
 
let's get them were it hurts. lower the speed limit to 55 mph results in
a gas glut and they have no choice but to lower gas prices since they
can not store it for long times due to summer and winter blends less
demand means lower prices beside your will get at least 15% more milage

My ZJ gets better mileage at about 60-65. Most wastage is bad driving
habits at lower speed. Racing from stoplight to stoplight can cut your
mileage in half. Synthetic lubes, higher tire pressures, clean air
filters, replaced O2 sensors, all go a long way to better economy.

Another way to lighten the fuel budget is taking lunch to work at
least twice a week. Where I am it takes at least a six mile trip to
get someplace that serves good food for lunch. So if I eat out every
day that's 12 miles a day, 60 miles a week. For me that's about $13
a week in gas and $30-40 in food.
