The difference is slightly more than twice as much gas for around the same
price. If it cost me $105 to fill up the Vgon gas would be $6.56 per. If gas
was $7.27, as he said, it would be around $116 to fill up the Vgon. Time to
buy sails. In all seriousness I'm already having to try to eke out more
contracts in an already very tight economic situation to try to stay ahead
of the rising costs of gas and food. Y'all noticed the price of food is
jumping as well, right? They're related, of course, but there it is. If gas
prices cost me $100 a month over what I'm currently laying out I've got to
make closer to $200 additional gross per month to cover it. Easier said than
done.

Robert
