Simple Complicated Odyssey's

Two magic words are turning consumers' heads lately. Not "Get rich" or "Lose weight." Try "Free gas." Businesses from banks and hotels to golf-club makers and blood-donation centers are offering promotions that involve free gas — generating more attention and goodwill from price-stunned drivers than traditional promotions might deliver.

For example, Callaway Golf Co. is giving away gas cards worth as much as $100 with the sale of certain drivers. Guests who book three nights through hotels.com will get $50 gas cards. And TCF Bank, based in Wayzata, Minn., is giving $50 gas cards to customers who open checking accounts.

By 2012 barrels of oil are estimated to be probably double of what they are now. So that means a barrel that is selling for $120 will be well over $200. What that means is that gas will double from what it is now. $4.00 doubled is $8.00. Get ready America $10.00 a gallon will soon become the norm. Then what will we do? I travel 25 miles just to get to work everyday. I can't move, because how the hell am I going to sell this house without losing money? Find a new job that is close to work, and then I can ride my Cadillac bike to work everyday.
