    All of a sudden regular unleaded is $3.75 a gallon. Usually gas will go up about 5 cents at a time but 20 cents just like that.

    it's not unnecessary. Large trucks and SUVs are safer.

    What about those of us who drive necessarily large trucks and SUVs?

    Gas has been ~$3.49 up in the Hill Country, I'll check later today when I'm in town.

    I wish I had gas under $4. In CA, it's was a ridiculous $4.25 on Tuesday and that was at an Arco. And I commute 150 miles for work each day so I have to fill up every other day. :mad:
