Sadly humorous article on CNN today:

LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- Some California drivers are resorting to desperate measures to beat the surge in gas prices at the pump -- deliberately running dry on the state's freeways and simply waiting for rescue.

Lujan's 20 trucks roam the busy freeways of Orange and Los Angeles counties as part of a publicly funded patrol that gives a free gallon of gas to drivers who have run out of fuel. It also offers other basic assistance to drivers whose vehicles have broken down.

read the rest

Actually funny you should mention that but in the past month I've had 2 instances of people approaching me at the gas station claiming they are broke and out of gas and asking for donations. Thats never happened to me before! Desperate times, desperate measures...

I filled up at $3.01 for unleaded Monday...
