<VV> $3 gas/minimal Corvair content

Same here.
No AC, but I can't justify the cost of the gas in the truck just for 
commuting right now.
Gas in Lincolnton went from 2.68 to3.00 in 8 hours.

Duke Power has sent out crews to hook generators to the pipeline pumps that 
run from South of Atlanta to Charlotte, to keep the gas and diesel flowing. 
Everyone who bought gas yesterday was an idiot. Atlanta stations were 
gouging 6.00 a gallon until their supply ran out. .
Off duty cops now in cars at gas stations, (to regulate traffic), all cash 
customers pay up front.

I have to laugh at the kids, they don't remember the gas lines in  73 or 79, 
they weren't even born yet.  Some of them don't realize this kind of crap 
has happened before.

Folks, we're gettin' gouged. Use as little as you can.
