6. Gas up another four cents overnight here.
It's between 2.139 and 2.209 right now for regular unleaded.

We have GOT to unload my husband's Camaro! That damn thing is supposed to run on high octane, which is 20 cents higher than the regular.

13. Yeah, but Europe also has MUCH better mass transit
You don't have to pay for gas if you don't drive a car, and in Europe, not having a car is actually a viable option.:eyes:
