gass is about $2.25-90 now before it was $4+ in SoCal

Best I've seen so far is $2.35... we're usually a bit slow with the prices falling.  Probably will hit the $2 mark sometime next week.

$1.81 and still falling

1.97 last i looked here in WI but it has still been falling.

(glad it fell just before i get my lisence)

lol, same here

As of 2 weeks, I get get my permit! 

Stay off the sidewalks... :p

Actually, even more importantly, everyone else stay off the streets....   lol jk +( :-)

all these pyhco drivers and many,many other things.

Things like:

1. People in the passing lane who don't pass anyone.
2. Driving on grooved pavement in the rain in a construction zone with concrete barriers inches from your door while being passed by an eighteen wheeler.
3. Stopping for gas off the highway because you saw a sign for gas, but having to drive 15 miles on winding, unlit roads to find the station, only to find that it's closed when you get there.

i dont understand some of dat,but i can go on for etc.

How about these:

*Drivers with absolutely no grasp on the concept of how to merge into traffic...
*Bumper to bumper traffic because people are gawking at an accident...on the other side of a divided highway...

and our favorite here in MN...

*Driving in snow/freezing rain at night.

 

My all-time favorite from when I lived in Clinton, IA, in the mid-80's:

You're driving down a city street with no stops.  All the crossing streets have stop signs.  It's the dead of winter and there is snow and ice on the streets.  A car three streets ahead comes to the stop sign and stops, sees you and debates whether they can go or not.  Remind you, it's three city blocks.  They wait because they are not sure if they get stuck.  They suffer with indecision.  Then, when you are just about to their intersection they finally decide they think they can make it across without getting hit by you.

Yep, you learn mad drivin' skillz living the in the midwest.  It helps me when I am out here in the west where NO ONE knows how to drive in the snow and ice.   
[/quote]LOL,THAT happens ALL the time in Troy IL.

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've met very few people who think that other drivers in their area are good drivers.

I'm guessing 1/8 of the drivers in my town don't have their license.

Gas is 1.75 nearby

$1.56-owned!

It's a lot more than that.  The slowdown is global, meaning reduced demand in China, which along with India has been one of the driving forces behind the rising cost of oil per barrel.

$.79 a liter.
