Man Switches to Horse to Protest Gas Prices
May 8, 2006
ARLINGTON, TX (AP) -- Egon Settle of Arlington, Texas, says he's riding a horse to do his errands, as a protest against the price of gas.
Settle said he has saved $565 over the past four weeks by pulling his horse trailer to work with his truck and then using his horse to run errands.
Settle has certainly gotten a lot of attention. He said people stop and shake his hand, and tell him, "I appreciate what you're doing."
Settle said he's "bitter and angry" that he can't drive his truck around much because of the high price of gas.

Malfunction Cuts Gas Price to 29 Cents
Mon May 22, 2006
HAMMOND, Ind. (AP) - When a pump at a gas station malfunctioned, opportunistic motorists were able to buy gas for 29 cents per gallon.
A Marathon station sold a gallon of fuel for less than the price of a first-class stamp for about 90 minutes Friday before the mistake was detected and and the price corrected to $2.79.
While still answering questions from customers about why the price had suddenly gone up, clerk Nida Tayyab said more than 50 people had crowded the store, likely thinking the mishap was a price promotion, and received the bargain. Normally, the station serves about 10 people per hour.
"I was really confused," she said. "It was so messed up. I can't explain here how it was."
When Tayyab figured out what was going on, she called her father, who works at another store, for help fixing the situation.
"It's fine now. It's all working," Tayyab added.
