I almost ran out on Sunday while I eased my way to Bellingham from Canada so I could avoid their $6/gallon gas (my guestimate, they sell it in these "liters" LOL some gov't scam I think, but I digress...) <g>

We live on a busy street not far from some gas stations and a major highway. The last time that gas priced hiked we had several people who ran out of gas knock on our door. A couple of them even tried to sell us random stuff out of their cars so they could go buy a couple of gallons of gas to get home. I remember one young man in a newer SUV trying to sell us a freaking wicker basket or something. I looked at his shiny SUV that he could not even afford the gas for and then at my $1,000, 15-year-old camry that I maintain myself (still going by the way) and just shook my head at the wonder of it...
