I Calculated it out to $125.00 a week for me. Never meet a pump yet that would let me fill in one swipe of the card.

If the listening level is too loud, please inform the driver, so he can promptly pull over, and let you out.

Made a trip to Hot springs with the boat. I didn't fill the boat till we got to Little Rock AR. for better MPG. I put in $106 in the truck and $260 in the boat. It was a very busy station but this guy was standing there watching me, thought he was waiting for me to go in and pay to steal something. So after I fill up and start walking in the guy follows me. The line inside was about 20 people deep. Turns out the guy watching me was the owner and was making sure I wasnt going to take off without paying. I am sure that has happened to him several times.

My new record is 121.38 for 42 Gallons. I hate that $75.00 cutoff as well. It is ironic that several of California's refinery's are down for "preventive maintenance" during the time of peak demand. The saga is starting to smell of Enron all of again, just different industry..

Raising an old thread here ...

Since we don't complain anymore about paying a lot for fuel, maybe we can start bragging on who's paying the least. I filled up yesterday in Newport News, VA for $1.90/gallon (gasoline). Anyone lower? I know you're out there.

Still a cool $2.50/gal here. Only filled up twice this month though. Each time has been about $0.20 cheaper than the last. That's diesel, anyway.

87 Octane is at $2.05 here.

I filled up Monday with 100% bio-diesel at $2.54/gallon in Fort Worth....I've seen regular diesel around here for $2.48....but I think the 7.3 loves the oily fuel of bio-D.

It actually runs just a shade quieter with Bio-D.

same 16 mpg and exact same performance as reg diesel...but can't make it smoke when I step on it, as it's too clean.

On my ONE highway (if you wanna call it that, supercrewjohn ;) ) Gas varies from 2.63 to 2.89. (87) Depends on which side of the island you're on. Diesel is 3.49-3.59.

I paid $2.079 for regular unleaded yesterday, at the wholesale club pumps here in Connecticut.

It's about a dime per gallon more outside the club, and diesel is still about $2.65.

Since all we do is ferry the kids around in the Excursion, I am glad I didn't pay the extra $$$ to get the diesel, and the privilege of +$0.50/gallon when at the pump.
