What do you drive with a 5.1 gal tank. A low rider?

I filled my boat tank with 6 gal. at 3.89 and didn't mind a bit as I was burning every drop.

Of course this did kind of remind me of the patients I have seen complaining to high heaven of the cost of glasses (back when they were around $45.00) and I would see them Saturday in the marina saying: "I don't care what it cost, just git me back in da water!"

I seen a report that says oil prices have dropped.

[35oldguy]

Yup! You are right about that for sure! In Guatemala we are paying for:

Super Q34.50 or $4.65
Regular Q33.55 or $4.47
Diesel Q33.30 or $ 4.40

Thank God we do not have to go as far as the average commuter in the good ol' USA! RT for me every day is about 30 kilometers.

Low grade 87 = $3.79
Mid-grade 89 = $3.93
Premium = $3.99

I filled up the Cowboy Cadillac last night = $91.50!!!!!

I keep telling my wifey and everybody that B*tches about it at work that we have always paid the least for gas of just about every country in the world. We should be thankful for that! I follow up with saying that I feel blessed that I am gainfully employed and have the ability to pay for it!

I figure we'll just take our house apart, piece by piece and burn it! We'll stay warm, and by the time they forclose on it, there'll be nothing left to take from us!

Here in LA, the cheapest regular unleaded you can find now is $4.15
There are parts of Beverly Hills and Santa Monica that have it at $5.00 for regular unleaded already.

We’re doing a 1500 mile round trip drive in two weeks. So looking forward to that bill.

I've been able to avoid these high gas prices because, I haven't owned a car in two years. I rent one on occasion, but unless you don't need too, why bother? A little planning goes a long way. It is also good exercise, but at the same time I am trying to work off my beer gut from all the extra beer money, so I guess you can't win in the long run.:D

Saturday, 9 AM in Leesburg, VA : $3.99/gal
Same Saturday, 4PM, same location in Leesburg: 4.03/gal :drop:

[Johns]

Thursday, Erie, Pa : $3.99

Good for you! Enjoy the money while you can because if Obama wins the Presidency he will tax us out of our pensions! Socialized medicine may be on its way! When the rough get going we all may have to park our cars and walk!

No, I for one think that President Bush is the man we needed to guide the country during these terroristic times. I hope McCain can follow him in office so we can enjoy more years of prosperity!

I got gas cheap today….Only $4.22/gal

50 bucks for 11 gallons (since I have to use premium)….Thank you GeeDubya for a wonderful world you’ve created.

Yikes!

Citgo is installing new signs. They have an additional position to display numerics up to 99.99.

OOFDAH !! That kills the idea of driving to Ca. this summer.

My wife and I just did a 2,700 mile round trip from Florida to Ohio and back.
We did the scenic tour hitting GA, SC, NC, VA, WVA, PA and OH. We stopped for a couple days in Charleston SC.
Gas averaged out at 3.86 a gallon. We lucked out in the Carolina's and Virginia hitting stations as low as 3.69 (that sounds so obscene now that I typed it out.).
Highest we paid was 3.93 in Heaters WVA. That was a bargain for WVA, the last couple days of May is when we went through there, we saw $4 postings along 77, 19 and 79 into PA.

We made it home this past Saturday after the news of the big bump on Friday. Saturday morning along 17 from Charleston to Savanna we saw stations side by side that ranged from 3.71 to 4.12. It was pretty much the same along 95 in GA.

Here in the Clearwater/Dunedin FL area it ranged from 3.79 to 3.99.

It will probably be my last road trip for a while. We spent $390 on gas, double what we spent 2 years ago. If it wasn't for cashing in points for free nights at Hampton Inns we probably would have cancelled the trip.
