I think Dodge accidentally installed a fan blade in my dash instead of a gas guage needle. An alcoholic in the Sahara wouldn't be as thirsty as my Dbl-D!

Just filled up, cost me $60 bucks
To hell with these Dakota trucks.
Went to the bank, I needed a loan
To buy enough gas to make it home.
It's worse if use the heat or A/C
Anyone know where to get gas for free?
George Bush is dancing, all the way to the bank
Would I be better off just driving a tank?
I'll sell it I think, and move in to the Y
What the Brits call "Petrol" is bleeding me dry.
Or maybe I'll do 25, all the way to my work,
As the truckers all scream "Move, you damned Jerk!"

I traded my Dakota for a Patriot thats why
because gas costs are too darn high
My Patriot costs 35 bucks to fill
For my dakota 60 bucks was the bill
I loved my Dakota but I love my patriot more
Because now I'm not so poor.

I average about $80 a week in gas. I drive a good bit, too. I'm getting well over 18 mpg, though, in primarily highway driving. I can't wait 'til summer blend gas comes back--I'll probably be getting over 20 mpg. Not too bad for a V-8 truck.

I agree with ya about diesel. The truckers in Central PA protested at a truck stop this weekend..made a mess of traffic, but brought attention to the issue. Now it's being reported they're taking 500 rigs to D.C. next month to protest prices...that ought to be interesting.

mb16, I saw the mess here in central pa this weekend. I hope it helps, I saw diesel at 4.29 this afternoon. I go about $100 a week in gas, but I get around 17 highway with winter blend.
