Wed, 30 May 2007 22:10:54 +0000 http://elainesplace.net/?p=88#comment-487 I've been more conscious lately of labels. Though I think it is hard to prove that the contents are what is stated? (Ask China about their standards...) But I'd say I am more healthy conscious now. Good thoughts. I’ve been more conscious lately of labels.

Yikes!!! $3.58 a gallon. Well, it is still cheaper than bottled water and energy drinks. $3.17 for a gallon of gas in the Ozarks. Have a splendid week, Greg I almost always look at nutrition labels.

I am very lucky. Hamburg's a pretty biker-friendly town, so I get where I need to go and get some exercise at the same time. A good deal! Elaine – Re: biking… I am very lucky.

I would have thought yours would be higher. Beth - they were just talking about that on the news the other night, how much per gallon goes for taxes. Quite a bit! Hope everyone's having a great Memorial Day weekend :-) Janet and Tom, amazing that you’re both on the East coast and have cheaper prices than me in MI. I would have thought yours would be higher.

Beth Young Sun, 27 May 2007 17:19:04 +0000 http://elainesplace.net/?p=88#comment-478 Hi Elaine, I missed the other poll. Our Canadian gas prices have gone up but I am not very efficient at figuring anything other than gallons. It does similar fluxes though. Have you ever noticed how much of your gas price is for taxes and government regulations? Deduct that and you can see where much of your money goes. We use our economy minded car more often but not much change in our habits. Hope you are having a great Memorial Day weekend! Beth Hi Elaine,

Yes gas prices are out of control, but still some keep their gas hogs and are willing to pay 45 to 50 dollars just to fill it up. Here the gas is about 3.17 as of now, but that could change by next week. Take care my dear friend and enjoy a great Memorial Day ! Hello Elaine, great to hear from you, sorry it took so long

It's ridiculous and maddening at times, but it doesn't stop me from going where I want to go. I always read labels too.

Julie - I know what you mean, would be happy to see $3.00 again Kirk - yep hear ya about being in snow country ;-) Pauline - gas prices end? probably not for a long time :-( Karen - lucky for you that you can get on your bike and pedal to get you to where you're going. Most do not have that option. Kimmy- nope it won't stop us because we don't have mass transit and do not live in a major city. We have to drive to get to work, to do most things, and the oil companies know that. Susan – wishing you the same.

Gas went up overnight one day last wk. One day it was $2.86, the next it was $3.09. Talk about mouths dropping at the tank! It's down to $3.06 today. It hasn't stopped me from going to where I need to go but it has made me stop any unnecessary trips into town. I can't imagine paying $3.58/gallon though. Holy Cow!
