V - your situation is even affecting my friend in Slinger. A road is proposed to be moved right through her back yard!! Just so those trucks from that quarry and avoid a different route.

I told her to search the DNR website for endangered plants and animals to save her property.....

ANYHOW, if all gas stations made pumps pre-pay 24/7 they would not have to worry about drive offs.

We go to the same gas station all the time and do not have to worry about being accused because they know me. After pulling into a pump, closest to the building - I also go in to pay in person so I don't have to worry about the card machine not working - seen that happen before as this employee you mention.

Hey there!! Nice to see you too!! Trying to stay home as much as possible and conserve gas... I wish more would try to bike, motorscooter etc.... I know living out by you that is very hard and in your line of work - hauling around garden equipment and everything... I fell for you.. $102 - ouch!!

And that my dear.... is why you are so successful!!

:)

Hi Chris,

As you might know, I live in Sheboygan and I read The Sheboygan Press online often and I did not hear about what you reported on.

Thank you for reporting on this.

I have to take my boys to school every day and pick them up every afternoon. On my way doing that I pick up two other children to go to the same school. I use to not charge them for the trip because I have to go there any way. Well now I do get money from them because I do have to go out of my way a bit. One mother compalined a little and I just told her that her child can walk then. She desided to pay up. how ungreatfull hay?

Well due to living on a fixed income (& don't get squat in child support) my vehicle now sits in the garage on E. I've taken my kids out of after school programs and they won't be joining any this summer.

You can try to follow all the tips you want but it's still not going to help you save. This ethanol crap that they put in gives you LESS gas milage which means you'll be right back at the pump sooner every time. (The rich keep getting richer)

just filled up our little truck yesterday $54 use to only take $30.....We have decided to move!! That tank of gas will ONLY LAST TILL WEDNESDAY - THAN ANOTHER $54!!! We live in Muskego and my hubby works in Hartland!! This whole thing just SUCKS!!! Im just so furious that OPEC gets to decide WHERE MY CHILD GOES TO SCHOOL AND MORE OR LESS DICTATES WHERE AND WHEN WE GO SOMEWHERE!!! Now -- We have to move and IM JUST PISSED!!! I think we all need to buy horses!! Good Luck Everyone -- were with You in this mess!!

Catholicgirl55 -- You got it!! Were ALL in this TOGETHER!! My oldest daughter is 20, in college and has a part-time job. on top of this she has ALL the bills and a car payment! My heart goes out to all but most of all "the kids" just trying to get an education and get to work!!We help Her as much as we can but at this point in my life I am unable to work(neck surgery in Sept.)and my hubby does earn a decent living but now that I had to leave my job, were trying very hard to stretch each and every penny and strangely we ARE SAVING MONEY BY ME NOT WORKING! I have also decided to stop driving due to my medical condition, I just dont have the "reaction time" with turning my head and DO NOT WANT TO PUT ANYONE IN DANGER WITH ME BEHIND THE WHEEL!! Sweet Catholicgirl55
You HAVE OUR SUPPORT and You are correct - DONT LOSE HOPE!!!! Good Luck Sweetie and hang in there, You are a very wise young Lady and I wish You ALL THE BEST LIFE HAS TO OFFER!!

On What You Drive? This Must Be Your First Time. Hey, Are You Driving Like A Retro Impala 95-96 Impala or like 2000 model Impala? I'm only asking because a retro impala has V8 from what I hear and that's why and it burns up gas like a truck or an SUV. If you got like a 2000 model (not the new new ones that are out), but the models from 2000-2005 then you should be fine, because mostly all of those are V6.
