GAS PRICES ARE AT RECORD HIGHS!!!!! AND THEY'RE GOING UP!!!! THE LUNDBERG SURVEY SAYS SO!!!!<br><br>Did these morons ever stop to consider:<br><br>--Just because Trilby Lundberg says it, doesn't make it so. Anyone ever stop to think Lundberg sends out crisis press releases just to get media coverage?<br><br>--Gas is nowhere near a record. The record is over $3 in the 80's (adjusted for inflation.) Right now, gas is going for $1.88-$1.98 in my neck of the woods. <br><br>--The doom and gloomers predicted $3, $4 even $5 a gallon this summer....where is it?<br><br><br>The chicken little routine is getting a bit tiresome. <br><br>

Paying $2.67 US (recalculated by current exchange rate) at the pump today. The funny thing is Alberta lives on oil and it's still this expensive. An even funnier thing is that US companies take it out of Canada grounds, and then resell it to us.<br><br>_________________________________________<br>Just a different kinda geek...
