Journal Safety Cap's Journal: Houston Gas Price: $2.99/gal 13
This is totally outrageous. I mean, just a few weeks ago I was paying $14-15/week.
With my car requiring a fill-up every two weeks, this is going to be a major burden. My gas mileage has sucked a lot because I have to run the A/C all the time (thanks to the 100 degree -- sorry, 115 degree heat indexed weather).
I would consider riding a bike, but there's no way I could pedal the ~ 22 mile one-way distance to work every day (assuming I could take a shower when I got to work), 'cause it would take too long and I have too much stuff to haul (laptop + books + guitar).
Dang this sucks.

The malls were a quick tram/metro/bus ride away. As a result I also grew up with a LOT of patience.
Now that I drive an 18 wheeler (yep, finally got around to changing vocations) I finally under
