I am why gas prices are too high. And if I cared more, I would probably change my habits. But I won't. I know I won't beacuse I've had the chance and chosen not too.

It's going to take a lot more than $3.00 a gallon for me to change. <BR/><BR/>And I have a feeling I'm not alone."<BR/><BR/>That comes from Tim Haab.
