Yeah right, the oil companies will find a way to use it as an excuse to raise prices.
Luckily I work from home but am now second guessing doing a lift with bigger tires as planned since it will effect my current gas mileage. Luckily my wife works fairly close to the house too but right now each truck costs about $80 to fill. My wifes truck gets filled about once every two weeks were I usually end up filling up every week, week and a half which is better than when I used to have to commute. Fortunately I live just outside of SC so I can jump the state line and save about 20-30 cents a gallon. Still makes me sick to see the profits. The economy is slowly starting to turn around but these gas prices as of late are going to undo it all in a hurry.
