What high prices?

I'm still savoring our relatively low prices and low taxes.  Truly wishing our gas taxes would double or triple so we'd break our oil addiction that much faster.

And yes, planning to drive ~1000 Miles for an extended week-end but with 4 adults and two children our miles per gallon per passenger in the van will still be more than acceptable.

A Happy and Safe 4th to all from the USA,

Jim
