$2.58 in SF Bay area.
However I think its worth it just to make the SUV drivers suffer! Good news - big SUV sales down 20% this year as compared to last. Looking forward to the $5 gallon, thats what it costs in England where by a strange coincidence : !) People drive efficient cars 2) The air is breathable 3) There are hardly any SUVs Mark

If you're interested in what the US army is doing in Iraq to keep oil supplies secure and fuel prices down take a look at Amnestys web site :

$2.05 up here in the land of the free. Where I am free to work hard to earn a salary that allows me to be able to afford to put fuel into any damn car I feel like, and have the freedom to, own. So you are not going anywhere with me putting down SUV owners. If they (me too) have the ability to pay the prices, God bless them for having the drive and determination to get themselfes into a place in life where they can afford it. 'Nuff said. (Donning Nomex)

I'd take 6.5 nautical (or regular for that matter ) for mileage any day. A boat is an ineffiecient process at best. Mambo nice photo...just feeds the untrue legend of the slow Porsche
