So maybe I am a millionaire, but I'm not retired (possibly this time next year)...still $1.57 for a gallon of gas is awful. Yes, I live on my own private island called Dallas, TX and when I sent that e-mail it was $1.39 per gallon here, now its up another 10 cents and it keeps getting worse. I see that driving 100 miles each day to work can make one a bit disgruntled, but understand that for me and many others its not a problem to fill up and not buy gas for 3 days. I'm sorry you have to drive that far, that cant be fun...do you carpool?
 
Maybe some radio station will start a gas war near you, that can drive the price way down (for a day).  I've seen 2 stations across the street from each other competing for the lowest price, sell gas for 19 cents per gallon, they had cars lined up for what seemed to be miles. One station ended up giving away free gas and sodas for two hours (yes they're still in business).

LOL,  Andy...
Don't buy gas?  Where do you live that it is only $1.39?
I watched an attendant put the sign up yesterday for $1.57.

For me,  if I don't buy gas,  that means I don't go to work. 
Maybe you are a millionaire,  retired and live on your own private island and you can afford NOT to buy gas. 

But for me,  I travel about a hundred miles a day to and from work,  plus I travel between businesses.... and I prefer to get there my own way,  and when I have to be there. 
 
Don't buy gas?  LOL
 
THIS ludicrous expense,  TOO, SHALL PASS.
