$1.60/gal is cheap compared to here.. It's about 3-4x that much in Canada, easily.

I think prices here are now about $0.80/liter (gallon being 3.8L)

Local Gas of Sarasota, Florida = $1.62

Can you believe gas was 4.00 + this summer????

 

[eric]

same here in MN - was about $4, now about 1.60

if the government were smart, they would have added a .50/gal tax on the way down, people would have barely noticed and we could have had a lot of public works jobs done, employing lots of people who need the jobs.

The gas prices are very frightening. Not that I don't like them, but it says a LOT about the economy. Demand is way down, people aren't driving, things are getting stagnant.

People think that's a good thing! Not too many people realize that we are currently in a recession.

you don't think so?

Actually, at lot of people realize it. In fact, most people do.

In Michigan, we've been in a recession for AGES, so most people here don't notice it because nothing has really changed.

 

[skye]

I don't realize a recession as much because I am still in college and the only loans I have are student loans, but I can certainly see its impact on the community around me.

 

[Derek McNelly]

Yay! I passed all my classes!

Wow.. When I went to school about 3 years ago... I had to have at least a 3.0 GPA to be able to keep receiving money from my government student loan.

How aboot that, eh?

 

[eric]

i had the same deal as darkart, but that was because my first semester i had a 1.87 GPA - they said if i didn't keep a 3.0 every semester until i was averaging a 3.0 i'd lose my scholorship (half my school paid). i left in four years with a 3.5.

 

[dabears34]

Ahhhh im currently working on that..... but im also on football scholarship. Its a lot of work but discounted school is worth it!

 

[Sennec]

You'll find soon enough that I am like a reality show.

Just when you think you get the main plot, everything changes.

ooh... well let's hope it's more like beauty and the geek than fear factor.

Sure, only it'll actually have a good ending.
