Since a few forum member (usually the same ones no less) managed to drag down yet another good thread and get it locked, I am starting this one. We are discussing railfanning in today's world of high priced gasoline, and also what the railroads are doing to curtail oil/fuel useage. Please keep your stupid politics to yourself ! ! ! <BR><BR>I will edit this one and give a link to the last one so you might see where this thread got its start and some of the predictions (which did come true) about the future of gasoline prices. If you read the first 5 pages it will give you a good idea of how valid the previous thread was. It originally also included discussions of dieself fuel and what the railroads were doing to try to lessen their use of diesel fuel. At first it was an interesting thread and I learned some things from it. During its last few days a few posters came in and started talking political trash which ultimately got the thread locked. [:(!] The thread was over 1 1/2 years old and doing well before it was locked. <BR><BR>As many of you know the President is starting a formal inquiry into the possibility of the oil companies using today's economy to try and boost oil company profits and take advantage of us--the consumer. He is also releasing some of the oil reserves to combat the current shortage. <BR><BR>Our gas prices are below $3 a gallon for the cheap grades and just over $3 for the premium grades. The current prices are hurting many people, some of which are having to choose between food and gasoline, or medicine and gasoline. [:(] <BR><BR>AND as promised, here is a Fuel Locator. Just follow the link and type in your zip code and it will show you a map showing the lowest to the highest prices of gasoline in your area. <BR><BR>http://autos.msn.com/everyday/gasstations.aspx?zip=&src=Netx <BR><BR>They do try and update it but it may be just a little behind as stations may suddendly change their prices. <BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>
