Maybe we can make Iraq the 51st state, throw up some fast food restaurants and a Disney Land, and get gas back down to under $2.00 a gallon.

Wis. man won't buy gas for 31 days, maybe longer

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. - Brian LaFave couldn't care less how high gasoline prices climb these days — he's parked his pickup truck and is refusing to buy gas for a month, possibly longer.

"The goal is to not use one drop of gas for 31 days," LaFave said, calling it his personal stand against the oil companies.

Now LaFave, 31, is riding his bicycle or walking everywhere he goes. He won't even let friends pick him up unless they already planned on being in the neighborhood.

"If they're not going out of their way, I can take the ride," he said. "But if they're going out of their way, then ... I'm still consuming gasoline so it kind of defeats the purpose."

LaFave started the effort May 11. He bikes to his third-shift job at Aldrich Chemical in Sheboygan Falls, a 9-mile commute.

"I did like a practice run ... two days in a row to make sure I could do it," he said. "I'm not in the greatest shape. The mornings are the worst. It feels like it takes forever. I get like a mile down the road and I want to die."

It's a big change for someone who put 300 miles on his truck the week before he stopped driving it.

LaFave fills out a chart each day listing how many miles he bikes, the destination and the gas price that day, among other things. He plans to compute his savings and donate that amount to a charity that provides food to children in Africa.

"I think just with the gas prices being so high, everybody complains about it but no one ever really does anything about it," LaFave said. "People continue to drive nonstop and not think about it, but I just wanted to take a stand and say, `I'm not gonna pay this much money for gas.'"

While I was at the pumps today, it went from $4.06 to $4.19 a gallon... tourist season starts Memorial Day week end and it will jump even more

Make sure you are using a fuel injector/carb cleaner to get the most of your gas!!

In the UK petrol has hit £5 a gallon. That's $9.91.

Diesel is now £5.46 per gallon. That's $10.82.

Don't come to UK because we are being shafted every single day of our lives over here. I my bike.

Public transport's not that much better. To go less than 10 miles on a bus to and from my place of work costs £3.90 or $7.73.
In the winter when it's too windy to cycle I spend 25% of my monthly wages on just getting to work.

It costs more to fill up our car's tank than the car costs! That's when you know you got problems.

Now would be an ideal time for a new car company to emerge where the cars use water (hydrogen).

I saw 4.09 for regular on my way to the beach yesterday. I hear it will be 6.00 by the end of July and keep going up.

Do they want the country/world to come to a standstill or what?

$4.30

Screw that, seriously, do they think we're ALL loaded? As soon as I live somewhere where I can, all I'm going to use are buses, bikes, and my own two awesome legs

Yeah I heard the public transportation isn't all that much cheaper in Europe either.
And I might be moving to the UK, so maybe I should be looking for work close to where I'll be living. There's this old idea I might want to take up called walking lol.
