Humongous fuel prices force mileage rationing for Utah deputies.

Officers in Davis County have been told to limit their driving to 75 to 100 miles during a 12-hour shift, through the end of the year, sheriff's Lt. Brad Wilcox said Monday.

Declare your Independence.

Take the opportunity by July 4th to declare your Independence from exorbitant gas prices by pledging to, in protest, stop mowing your lawn until gas prices fall below $2.50.

Take the pledge here.

[Yeah, yeah, I *know* that's a clunky place to put "in protest," but I couldn't find a better spot. If I'd gone with "stop mowing your lawn in protest," you'd have responded with "But I'm not doing it in protest NOW; I'm doing it because it needs to be mowed!"]

Bhandari says he got a letter from the state auditor last month saying the
state would sue him if he did not raise his prices. The state could penalize him
for each discounted gallon he sold, with the fine determined by a judge.
