Its not even gas. You can see people on welfare all over the place without jobs begging for food. they got a smoke in one hand, a beer in the other and are still talking on their cell phone. Of course they are gonna bitch about Gas. Its the American way (note, I fully understand that this kind of behavior is a very very small percentage of even the people on welfare).

Kind of like people like this, I LOVE this article.

I am saying gee half an hour in line to save $4 (at most). What's the big deal about $4 at's like $1 in gas down the drain trying to save a few bucks. Really stupid IMO
Time=$$$$ so in reality they are probably waisting more. I use to know this chick who would drive 3 or 4 miles out of the way to save 10 cents a gallon. I told her she probably ends up paying just as much but all she did is stare at me with a blank look on her face.

OOOHH. Can I bitch, too? My wife's F-250/w7.3L PowerStroke weighs 7,000lbs. and gets 19.5 MPG running empty(SuperChip). It has a 38 gallon tank that is currently over $140 to fill. It is a 2000 model with 90,000 miles and most of that has been done with a trailer dangling off the back.

IIRC, the Excursion is built on an F-250 chassis.

What bearing does gas prices have on the range your dad's boat has? Unless you were meaning he simply wasn't going to drive it much period anymore, which is reasonable.
