I just drove in from Washington roughly a 1000 mile drive door to door.    
When I gassed up at Safeway ( before I discovered I need to BOYCOTT them) (red 
list)   gas was $1.83.   Next time I gassed up was near Tacoma   Gas was 
$1.73.. I was in heaven.. Wished I had thought to bring a gas can!   Oregon was over 
$2.00 but someone fills up for you so you can stay in the car.   I was 
listening to the audio tapes of The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown read by David 
MNichael and became so ingrossed in them I forgot to watch the gas gauge.. I wound up 
around midnight in dense fog upstate california with the gas light blinking 
and a sign telling me that the next gas station was 24 miles away.. I couldn't 
rememebr having seen one for miles in the direction i had passed.   and I had 
to pee!!LOL!   I wound up driving in 3rd for a stretch and then going into 
neutral and coasting whenever I could.   Luckily it was pea soup fog so no one 
minded that I was at times going 35 or less on a freeway!   I finally limped 
into a Chevron station and the ags for regular was $2.35.   I was incensed!!   I 
won't even repeat what I said to the attendant!!   <smile>   And of course i 
had no idea how far to the next station so I couldn't just buy enough to get 
there..   Last time I did that on the way to the Rez the gas was higher at all 
the next stations!
