I think the countries that have all the oil should just keep it and eat it and since we grow most of the food we will keep that and eat it. Who will be better off? The non driving food eaters or those that have oil?

Do we produce enough oil to grow the food and get it to market?

We have that too, but I don't use it. I guess I just love Exxon.

$3.83 this morning.

I'm thinking...well at least it's not $4.15. Which is exactly what they want you to think. I guess I should be all grateful.

$3.76 here today at the Chevron. We can get it 10 cents/gal off if we collect enough points at our local City Market (Kroger).

You all have cheap gas. I guess you don't have that special "city blend" less polluting stuff.

We have the Kroger too. I'm on the other side of town so almost any money I might save with my meager single girl purchases would be et up in gas getting to the Kroger.

I did register my Kroger card yesterday and I don't understand the points thing at all. I have none for this month but I must have bought something there last month. April fuel points...11. Does that get me anything?

not quite. 11 won't do anything. you need to aquire at least 100 to get 10 cents off per gallon. i'm not sure if it tiers or not. ie...200 = 20 cents and so forth. i'll look into it. i know that if you spend $1,000you get a buck off per gallon up to 35 gallons. so buy a grand worth of KY jelly and maybe the pump phucking won't hurt so bad!

eta: Kroger Fuel Link click on your town.

Yeah, 200 points = 20 cents off per gallon at Kroger. The points disappear after a month so you have to use them coz they don't roll over. I got gas for 3.46/gal today using my .20 cents off/gal via Kroger.
