No kidding -- another case of scare tactics by the media. If it gets so bad that I have to start pawning things for fuel, well, I'm in deeper than I want to be.

The reality is gas and energy in general is now expensive. Instead of focusing on the root cause of that problem (no new refineries, many regional fuel blends, etc.), we're just supposed to have an outpouring of pity and feel sorry for ourselves.

This explains why I don't have cable anymore. I can use the $50 on other things (such as gas). I'd rather be warm with no TV! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Okay, off my soapbox.
