Good luck to you my fellow cherokeesta.

Amen on that. I'll still love America no matter what. Its a great country to live in and i'd rather live here than anywhere else in the world. Ive been thinking about possibly joining the marines after high school which would be pretty cool... Everyone hates taxes but its just something we have to live with. Thanks for the reply.

Someone ask why gas cost more in winter? Or did I misread? Anyway, gas is not the only thing that comes from the oil... distillate fuel oil and kerosene also come from crude oil, both of which can be used as fuel to heat homes... winter is cold, therefore more of this fuel is used... which can make gas prices higher in some way... that's what I read somewhere anyway.

$3.09-$3.11 for 87 here in Concord, NC. $50 or so to fill up.
