Has the ridiculous price of "le gaz" altered your Memorial Day weekend plans?
I'm going to stay in SE Michigan this year, freeloading BBQ at family and friends' homes.

2. I never travel on holidays anyway
It's one of the benefits of living in a resort area -- people pay lots of money to come and get what you have all the time.

6. Nope......
.....not going anywhere anyways - not for Memorial day or any other day. Given up Gas altogether. Our town is only a mile long. I'll walk. And as for shopping - well, Grocery store in town is pricey (what isn't) but, I figure, by the time I would drive to the next bigger town (about 20 miles) to shop - the money it would cost for the gas, I can shop right here and probably still save some money in the end. And that is how it's gonna stay until I either get 150% raise or Gas prices come down to realistic levels. Period.
