We're on the final stretch. Elections are just around the corner, so be prepared to see even cheaper gas. $2.70 here we come!

Sandy's moving up the eastern seaboard. The gulf should get rained on but should be fine otherwise. On a lighter note, we're supposed to get a butt load of rain In the Norfolk area instead of a full frontal hurricane since she's landing further north now

Yeah, that won't have any effect. Someone here always calls up Saudi Arabia and says "Hey, it's election time, give us cheap gas" and it happens. Last election, gas dropped all the way to 1.35 by Christmas here. Let's see if I can find that pic.

We can't find gas in NJ lol. Literally. I drove an hour and a half today to find a gas station that's open and nada! Sandy wiped us clean.

Step 3, forget steps one and two and convert to ethanol
Step 4, make your own fuel
Step 5, get drunk on newly made fuel and laugh at your friends because they can't drink their fuel
Step 6, go blind because your still was too hot
