I thought your fillups were generally slightly LESS fuel than mine, but I'm sure we didn't compare them all. It's probably a good thing that we're all home now, since BP has announced the shutdown of it's Alaskan pipeline. That's bound to have a major (upward) effect on global gas prices. The word on the news tonight was that this was 8% of the US supply, and it may be out of commission for several months. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
