the explaination i heard on the radio yesterday says that basically no ones complaining . they said the economy is good right now and people are picking up the extra costs without a flinch. they also said that the rises in price are not even justafied. its just companies making money hand over fist. i could struggle and continue to hunt and drive to places like i have been but im gonna do anything i can not to buy gas.i had to buy tires this year and went with the smaller tires on my pickup as funny as it looks on my f-150. its killing me but i just dont jump in the pickup and make small errands anymore. i combine all my stops to one or 2 a week. another for instance theres a whitetail jamboree this weekend about 50 minutes from my home that i go to every year with guest speakers and some good deals to be had but im staying home. ive almost made it like a game in my head to figure out how to stay home and not spend on gas. i figure everytime i dont fire up the truck its money in my pocket
