While I once enjoyed leisure activities during prosperous times, this year I will only experience even greater economic peril. Fortunately my home is bought and paid for, but the operating costs especially for energy have been steadily increasing. About the only thing I am currently planning to do this upcoming Memorial Day weekend is sitting in my recliner in front of my computer and thinking about the better times of my prosperous years.

James48843 Veteran Author Michigan Posts:258 Points:156,495 Joined:Aug 2004	Message Posted: Apr 16, 2010 7:41:08 PM Ignore James48843 Report Abuse Price of E85 is actually LOWER than it was three months ago- it's just $2.29. If you have a flex-fuel car, it makes good economic sense now that E85 is far cheaper than gasoline! See the locations of stations at http://e85prices.com With a flex-fuel car- when gas is cheaper, you can buy gasoline. When E85 is cheaper, you can buy E85. That's FLEXibility!

BenGast Sophomore Author Boise Posts:129 Points:223,955 Joined:Oct 2005	Message Posted: Apr 15, 2010 7:44:30 PM Ignore BenGast Report Abuse I don't expect a change of plans for Memorial Day due to higher gas prices for several reasons some of which are: 1. The cars I drive are economical and I believe any supply problems are more political than shortage related. I am not interested in rewarding those with a political agenda by altering my behavior. 2. I doubt the prices will be higher than they have been at times in the past when I went places. 3. I will be traveling in mid May and have no plans for Memorial Day travel so there is no plan to alter.
