Re: Katrina cont > gas

Gas is $3.19 now, was $2.79 this morning. A friend called me Mon night
and told me to fill up because it would be rising. It was then $2.58/g
and I had a coupon for 50c off per gallon, but could only fit 4.5
gallons in the tank. Fortunatley I don't have to drive a lot. I can
possibly get by for 3 weeks on a 14 gallon tank if I'm careful.
