    $3 dollars a gallon? Most of the country would feel lucky to have it right now.

    How long do you suppose it will be before those siphon hoses begin to take center stage again. I recall the crunch in 72-73 when desperate people roamed the neighborhoods with their 3'/- 1/2" hoses looking for unprotected cars to rip gas off. That's when we had a much higher rate of employed people. (gas tank locks were rare then...but a 5 year old could bypass those useless locks.) Don't be too surprised to find your tank drained while you sleep, in the near future...

    I remember those days. I used to hook a wire from the hot side of an electrical outlet to the under carriage of my car. Anyone touching the gas cap door completed the circuit to ground. ZAP! No gas today!
