I don't want to rain on your party, but the price of gas in the USA is too cheap. A price of $5 a gallon may get people to start conserving and quit wasting energy. The true cost to the enviroment of burning a gallon of fuel in your car is a lot more than $2 a gallon. Why not tax each gallon another $3 and use the funds to build mass transit systems and bike paths. How nice would it be to board a train at MCO and ride it to Disney and beyond. Look at the Marta in Atlanta and the train in St. Loius, they work so nice. Look at our highways, sometimes seven, eight lanes full of cars with one person driving to places like Walmart to buy a bunch of Chinese trash. What a waste as this stuff ends up in our landfills. Walmart and their cohorts have made everything disposable, like bikes, TVs, VCRs and everything they sell. Ever try to get anything fixed anymore? Just throw it out and buy another product that is worst than the one your throwing away. How low can we go? At least we a support those third world counties by paying them a dime to sew a shirt that Target and Walmart sell for $29 after they make it down 50% on sale. This may not be a most popular opinion but it is the right one.

I had to take a deep breath after reading the previous post. I thought this message board was about sharing the Disney magic, not political propaganda.

Gas is $1.87 in central Kentucky.

Gas station heaven in Nashua NH is the Exit Six and Exit Seven region, a mile to the east and a third of a mile to the west of the respective interchanges on U.S. 3 the freeway. Lowest price on 1/26/07 was 2.169 at first station off of X7W.

However each day a different station out of the ten or so is cheapest.

There are (don't abbreviate these):
newhampshiregasprices.com
massachusettsgasprices.com
mainegasprices.com
and perhaps others for other states. See where gas is the cheapest.

The problem with fixing things:

1. Not being able to just pay for the time and parts now to get it fixed but also having to pay for a chunk of the repairer's time thirty years from now, in the form of passed on self employment tax or a portion to go into a 401k or IRA.

2. No assurance that the thing will work for a reasonable time thereafter.

>>> Look at our highways, sometimes seven, eight lanes full of cars with one person driving to places like Walmart to buy a bunch of Chinese trash.

3. In most areas you can't get to Walmart by bus.

4. They don't make VCR's in the U.S. See, also, #1 and replaced "fixed" with "made".

5. I saw this photograph showing a highway in Shanghai, buses mired down in seven or eight lanes full of cars with one person (oh, how history repeats itself) driving to places like Walmart (yes they're expanding there) to buy a bunch of (well I was going to say Mexican or Venezuelan trash except that they were closing factories there to move the manufacturing to China.) Not sure how much the gas costs.
