Yep! Even Bush was surprised. I guess that goes to show that he doesn't know what he's doing.
Some people don't drive big vehicles for status; they drive them because they have a lot of stuff they need to carry for their jobs....I dont feel sorry for people who drive huge vehicles for status and then whine about high prices.
Some of us are stuck with commuting in our cars; there are no carpools are pubic transportation available.I feel sorry for people who drive reasonable vehicles and have regular jobs and sometimes cant afford the high prices and thus usually carpool to work if they can.
In my area there simply is no public transportation.
Hmm...my last expensive weekend out of town was for an interpreter conference, not a vacation. We haven't been to a movie in years. Store brands are OK.Also if your feeling the pinch - then perhaps you need to cut back on other things such as expensive weekends out on the town, excessive trips to town, going to the movies, buying name-brand items when the store-brand will suffice. Things like that.
