Just go to Europe and buy it by the liter (quart) for 2 Euros a liter. Thats $2.60 / quart or > $10 / gal.

Then again most europeans don't drive trucks and big cars (and Ro doesn't get to either, no matter how much he wants a truck). They also don't drive 120 miles (200 km) a day!!!!!!
gas almost costs more than milk!!(at least we only go through one of those a week)

the prices are especially hurting my family as ranchers.....
the trucks have to do the sweeps of the property a couple times a week, and we gotta check on the horses every day.
plus, we're pretty far out there, so just going to a major town is difficult, and since we have a dude ranch certain seasons, we have to get supplies for the greenies.
yeah. gas prices suck right now.

I live and work in a big city, which means I don't drive at all. I don't even know how. If ever I move out into a more rural area I would have to - like if the desire ever took me to go back to my parents' village - last bus is something like 9pm there and buses into town are generally every hour at their most frequent.
Luckily my work tends to go on until after 11pm if we have late broadcasts (usually political stuff, which is on late because no one watches it  ) and because of that, they pay for us to get cabs home.

I walk, rain or shine, to work (10 minute walk), but hubby commutes in and around DC traffic everyday... It is taking a major bite out of our budget right now.... * grumble grumble*

i dunno what's worse - spending a long time in traffic wasting gas, or spending an equally long time wasting gas driving to get emergency milk and eggs.

That's one thing I miss about living in London - the lack of 24 hour shops around here. My local shop near my house closes at 10pm, and it's one of the latest ones. At the moment we're doing a lot of late political broadcasts since we're coming up to the general election, so I don't get home till about 10 to midnight, by which time you can't get any food, and even the takeaways are closed.

I don't eat McDonald's as a rule. But yeah, even they close here at about midnight or something.
