Got Gas?
« on: October 20, 2008, 05:44:09 PM »
I was driving through town today and noticed several stations selling gas at $2.60-2.70gal. I'm amazed that just a month ago, when the hurricane was coming, we were talking about $6/gal or higher. I know it'll go up when OPEC cuts production but I'm still amazed at how low it's gone.

Filled up today on the way home from work, $2.44 per gallon.  Almost made me giddy.

Why don't you send more invitations to the yankees telling them how cheap our real estate is while you're at it?

I just bought 142 gallons of diesel at $3.16 today. Best price I've seen was $3.14 but I didn't want to spend any more time in Phoenix traffic so got it at Eloy.

I siphoned gas out of my 35 gallon tank on my boat (winterizing, left 5 gallons in with Sta-bil additive) and I paid $3.59 for it last month.  :huh
