True.  A lot of people are going to be tempted if the current price
situation persists, though.  This morning, regular unleaded was
$2.089/gallon, diesel was only $1.779/gallon.  This is the first time I've
seen regular unleaded selling for over two bucks a gallon in Michigan.
We're not even in peak driving season yet.
