Pay the carriers a gas surcharge and the tips customers send in for us.( not the agents). That would help alot.

I don't patronize the gas stations who chrage a higher price for using a credit card (which is ILLEGAL). I usually go on one of the websites to find the closest, cheepest gas.

Here in Britain we are paying about nine dollars a gallon. My commut to work is 80 miles a day round trip no guessing where my money goes. I am looking forward to my trip to the states.

How do all those Pennsylvania drivers like driving all the way from York, PA to Baltimore, MD at $4.00 a gallon? Stay in trailer in PA. We don't want you in MD.

Will someone please come here and fix our awful transit? No insiders, no Baltomorons, no nay-sayers - someone from outside who rides a bus occasionally, unlike Porcari.

I found one person who has a similair commute as I do. There.. double the time between fill ups. I pretty sure your schedules are so different that car pooling wouldn't hurt.

When the Fast rise started back after Katrina, I moved money market funds into the Oil industry. As the price rises, I see a greater income. Fortunately, fearing a burst in the energy bubble, I pulled out about 6 months ago and returned to a safer investment program.
