I love those commercials w/wood, propane & electricity.

Griff, I thought wood retired. :bolt:

Yesterday, it cost me just under $30 to fill my tank...I run it almost down to E all the time. That's the first time it has cost less than $30 since August.

The pizza shop I work for just increased its delivery charge this week from $2 to $2.50. No complaints from customers...yet.

They'll bitch when it gets to $3.

I paid $2.54 yesterday for regular. (and darn good thing I did, because I bought 14.22 gallons. That is as close to sucked totally dry as I have ever gotten.)

well they are starting to come down on their prices. think the pressure the feds put on the oil companies for their "record" profits had anything to do with it? maybe/maybe not. topic could've been talked about somewhere else here, haven't had time to surf around the threads lately. anyway a quick repost of a link to help you find Cheap Gas found gas in my area below the $2.00 mark. $1.89 to be exact....

Here in the Oxnard CA area, we're pleased to see California blends now at around $2.45/regular, down from a high of three-plus. I think the pressure plthijinx is speaking of wasn't governmental but of the general public around here -- the refiners and suppliers had the habit of ramping prices up steeply and then doing a much slower decline, to the jaundiced regard of everyone in California who burns gasoline. This time I think the refiners are paying attention to the politics of the matter, and are rolling prices back with more alacrity than the last couple of times. Good PR, I must say.

Want to save gas? Let the state whole? your DRs a while. :smack: I put 20 bucks in my p-up the morning of Katrnia, still have 1/4 tank. Filled up Honda the 9/7/05 still have 1/2 tank. Some how I don't think this's going to be a great money saver!

I look at the current level of fuel prices this way: Just because I'm being backsided with a smaller crank than before does not change the fact that I'm being sodomized.

The state has been insisting that buster leave his vehicles sitting in the driveway for a while, as a consequence of a little misunderstanding.

After all the calamity did you at least get to eat the sausage?

Nope. No fridge for around 24 hrs.
