$3.17

I can't believe that I was so excited to pump gas yesterday, but there I was almost doing a "happy dance" at the pump because I was paying $3.17/gallon for gas.

& we don't even have it that bad. We consciously drive fuel efficient cars (& have for some time now). I wonder if I would have broke out in full dance if I were driving a big SUV? =)

I know that it has been very difficult for some families and businesses with the higher fuel prices, however I am SOOOO happy that everyone is realizing that we need to be more energy efficient for the good of all. I feel that techonogy will only come at a high rate if everyone is asking for it. Now that everyone is asking for more fuel efficient cars, instead of big SUVs and gas-sucking trucks, hopefully the new technology will follow soon.

So I guess that I was a bit conflicted yesterday filling my gas tank. But hopefully prices will stay reasonable and people won't forget what it feels like to pay higher prices and keep pushing for new techology.
