OT - [AT] Gasoline $ another view

[LeRoy Price III]

Rob,

We were just talking yesterday at lunch about VW diesels.  One of the guys 
was using some old Mecedes 300 diesels to drive to work in.  Now get this, 
he's using home heating oil.  Apparently, he has gas heat for the house and 
put a 300 gallon heating oil container outside.  As far as anyone knows he's 
converted to oil.  During the winter he said he mixes in Kerosine.  Anyway, 
he said that the VWs get close to 50 miles to the gallon.  That true?

Hey, how about those land prices.  Three years ago I could get 2 acres 
around me for $42,000 or so.  Today I see 1 1/2 lots going bewteen $90,000 
and $115,000.  How the hell do people afford it?

I watched a show the other night which was about what you could get for 
$400,000 in various cities for living quarters.  LA apartments for downtown 
at that price and 750 sq ft.  Good grief, where does it end.
