Gas Goes Up Again

$2.73 as of today. The price of oil has only gone up $5/barrel (give-or-take) but gas has risen by 18 cents/gallon. This is getting old, but there's no end in sight, and complaining has never helped.

Oh, well ... even when it was well over $4/gallon, last year, I didn't drive a LOT less. I combined trips more often than not, though, just like everyone else.

The new alternator seems to have positively affected the horsepower of ye olde truck. I'm guessing the old one was producing low voltage for some time. This is good; a hotter spark means better economy.

Just in time, it seems.

Oh I can think of a few. Get rid of the EPA, stop doing regs on oil developement and natural gas, drill here drill now, counter sue environemtnal orgs and those whom work with them.

Oh I can go on all day.
