133	fkurucz Tue 5/13/2008 3:21p	<<I never fill my tank now - why would I want to drive around carrying 44 gallons of Diesel Fuel>> Now, now, don't be disingeneous. You know what I meant: Will you able to afford to drive your Excursion when diesel is $10 a gallon?
134	gottaluvdavillains Tue 5/13/2008 5:16p	If Diesel hits $10 a gal there won't be anywhere to go - The truckers in CA are already talking about parking their trucks and walking away - most are barely breaking even and can't feed a familiy with the high costs of fuel now! <Now, now, don't be disingeneous> Really I wasn't - this was a conversation had over the weekend with my sister who just parked her suv and bought a little used car... Difference is I have four kids 2 are tall teens and one getting taller preteen boy plus a little girl - SHe has two children both on the short side - Room isn't an issue for her...If the kids hadn't grown up so fast I would still be driving my minivan or my forester!
