If there is any kind of an upside it is that.  Still amazing how the pumps across the street from me are still at $3.58 a gallon.

Seeing $3.43 to 3.19 here in Austin, from East 7th Street to Braker and Burnet.  News online says $2.89 to 2.97 south of the river around Oltorf though.   Might do a little exploring after work and see how cheap I can find it.

I think we'll see the biggest one week loss by the end of this week as panic sets in.
Damn. Exactly ONE DAY OFF from my prediction.
