Marty Usher Prowler Junkie Posts: 13833 From: San Antonio, Texas Registered: JUN 2001	posted 07-11-2005 02:13 PM Why is the media surprised that a $.20 a gallon increase is gasoline has not kept people for driving on vacations? I just saw another story on CNN (it may have been FoxNews) a couple of days ago that expressed "shock" that people would still drive on vacations. Perhaps the corespondent's calculator quit working I wanted to tell her that someone driving 1000 miles on vacation and gets 20 MPG will only spend an additional $10.00 on fuel if gas costs 20 cents more per gallon than last year. That's one less tee shirt, one less dessert or two less cocktail during an entire trip. For this they think people will cancel a vacation? Get real and report on something like why are more refineries not being built or what happened to ethanol?

I gave it back to the waiter and told him he could dump it down the toilet! It tasted just like watered down, cherry flavored NIQUIL!!!
