It cost $65 last week for a fill-up of our Expedition. My husband travels a lot for his job. If he has to drive that (car) around to every corner of the East coast, we're in a lot of trouble.

It's not going to be cheap. The real cost is going to be the fill. We have no idea how much it will take to top the holes.

It didn't cost anything to e-mail it. I'm not sure exactly, but it normally takes only an hour or two for us to write something of that length. … Most of that information came from the speech, which was already developed.

There's no way I would fill up our cars with gas once a week any more. We're not using a full tank of gas even once a month.

My husband travels a lot with his job, so we have a lot of frequent flyer miles so we can hop on a plane with no notice. That's a nice luxury and he is very supportive.

What's really wrong with making them the problem is that you abdicate your own responsibility. Once you say some mysterious they is in charge, then you're able to sit back comfortably and complain about how they are doing it.
