bigx5er is on a distinguished road
I live in Minnesota and our local Costco still had premium for $2.99 tonight -- you should have seen the line of monster SUVs filling up (average is around $3.30 here now).

Just to make you all feel better, there was an article in the paper here today about a strong decline in boat traffic on the rivers and lakes. They talked to one guy who owned a yacht where gas was $4.00 a gallon. The kicker is his boat has dual 250 HP motors and he gets 1 MPH. The boat has a 300 gallon tank.

Ouch!
