Typing of grocery warehouses, it kills me how there are long lines of cars at the Costco gas station--hordes of people who drive miles out of their way to this remote part of town--in order to save a few cents on gas.
And then let their engines idle as they wait.
Before driving all the way back to civilization.

Tue 5/6/2008 5:44p | LOL, jdub. This is why I opted out of the Costco membership, which is across town, and went for Sam's which is close to Target where I frequent anyway. |

Tue 5/6/2008 5:54p | I don't go to Costco for anything other than food - as they don't sell Diesel - For DH and DS19 Safeway with the discount is usually the same or less than Costco anyway - we know this because DS19 goes to Jr College next to Costco! |

Tue 5/6/2008 6:03p | The gas prices are bothering me enough that I just bought a bike to get to and from work. As for groceries, I get free breakfast and lunch at work, so I only have to buy supper type stuff, which is a very nice perk. |

Tue 5/6/2008 7:39p | All I can say is, I don't see why the oil companies should be making money through the you know what and make people suffer for it. I write off a lot of my miles but I'm at over 60k (km not mi though) this year. When I had my mid size I didn't feel comfortable. I now drive a CUV and find it doesn't use much more gas. However the cost now... |

Tue 5/6/2008 8:57p | My commute is about 75 miles each way. The higher gas prices are making me work out of the home more often, which is a perk. I can wear my Fight Club t-shirt and sip tequila while on conference calls.
The higher the gas price, the more often I can do it. |

Tue 5/6/2008 10:39p | My wife bought a new car yesterday. She traded in a 2007 Dodge Caliber that was coming off lease and leased a 2008 Dodge Nitro.
The mpg figures really aren't that much different and my wife really liked the styling of the Nitro.
I was fine with whatever vehicle she wanted to buy... after all, it is HER car.
I have to admit though... it was kind of fun to see my wife choose a car that required some balls. I'll love her no matter what she wants, but one of the reasons I love her is that she's a ballsy-babe!
