So just continue to fill up your SUV's and your BMW's and Lexus' that require Premium gasoline and be prepared for $100 a barrel by the end of the year and $5.00 a gallon at the pump.

Since I attended Cybernext in SD in June, I've only put $15.00 in my truck and I only drive it when I absolutely need to. Otherwise, I do my shopping online and let someone else wait in line at the pumps.
