    Blue Jumper

    Gas in my area (30 miles east of Atlanta) has been running $1.55 for about a month now. Plus I use my Kroger card for another 10 cents off. WhoooHoo!

    1.54 cash yesterday. The further you get from the freeway and the big city the cheaper it is.

    As a little side note, I was working in Abingdon, VA a couple of weeks ago. I stopped to fill my tank first thing in the morning at a station close to my hotel, when a young man ran out of the building yelling for me to stop before I even started. He wanted me to wait 5 minutes because the price was going down! Imagine that! :D

    My grandaughter put $150.00 in her tank today. But be of good cheer the people at 1600 Pensylvania say it's just temporary and will pass over in a short time. I just know this makes you feel better. Just like sending a Woman (Hillary) to negotiate with the Arabs in the middle east. You know what high reguard these people have for the opinions of women.

    Lovin' my Prius right now. On a recent roundtrip to Manhattan from my home, I averaged 55MPG

    We're paying $3.50 or so. A fill up for me is about $32. Lasts me three weeks.

    Apparently you don't have a wife, four kid, a dog and a mother in law to schlep around town. I paid $3.85 a gallon for 93 octane earlier today on the Mass Pike and $5.35 an gallon for 59 gallons of 100LL AvGas at Worcester Municipal Airport last Friday.

    Fuel prices will trend higher until we start drilling and refining our own in ANWAR and offshore in Alaska, the Gulf and California. If we don't we will soon be paying $6.00 plus a gallon for gasoline, diesel and fuel oil.

    Well, I must confess that I have a bigger car, a cross-over to be exact. I drive the appropriate vehicle at the appropriate time.

    We have been paying in Guatemala City for the last 2 years about $3.85 a gallon for Super. Looks like I will just go where I have to go and leave the car parked!

    Chip do you mean $150 in a street vehicle or does your grandaughter drive an A1 Abrahms?

    Grandaughter: Nissan Armada (I think).
    Really looking forward to the weekend. Going to the farm where I will have to feed a Jeep, a Tractor, a truck and a chain saw.
    And if I get real lucky and get through with using the above, an outboard motor.
