Exactly!!!!

Even if the price was going up, just HOW MUCH could one hope to save on a single
fill up????? $10, maybe (and this is stretching it a lot) $20??????? My time is
worth more to me than sitting in a stupid gas line!!!!!!! Now, if they were
going to start rationing gas tomorrow, that is a different situation!!!!!

I lived in the U.S. during the "Energy Crisis" where they had odd/even plate
days, and you HAD TO wait for three or four hours to get gas!! Even when you got
to the pumps, they would not sell you any if you had more than 1/2 a tank!!!!
The people that got spooked over a gas price RUMOR are the same people that raid
the grocery store when reports of a storm are in the news! Sad, sad, people!
