That and it's a slow day at work
I'm on my second Tundra so I already Know what I got myself into but hey I needed a Truck and very aware the Tundra will Never ever get the Civics 40mpg . The reason I did my "Gas Crunch poll" was the same reasons as your post but a tad bit different The gas Companies are screwing us over this has been discussed many times . ever year around summer it seems the prices goes up like Inflation so my Next question when is the government going to raise the Minimal raise to offset the current cost the gas? Wile I can afford the current gas Crunch there are many out there not so lucky so i guess we need to consire other people out there vs our own . 2008 should be an interesting election with Bush out of office I cant wait to see some new blood in Office
