I looked at it. The cheapest station listed is 35 cents lower than most others (including wal-mart and amoco which are always cheapest here). The cheapest station is right by the interstate and notorious for high prices. I think the data for that station must be out of date.

I use 89, I found a place on the way home from work thats still under 2.90
don't matter much though, as I just drive slower now and have the drifting areas down pretty good.
I filled-up last sat. and didn't get gas until tuesday night, (10days) thats with approx. 50mins mon-fri. along with 50mins total on weekend, I coulda waited until wensday I believe as someone else drove my truck 1 of those days, who I know has a heavy foot LOL
truck runs smoother going 5 under the limit and I don't have to worry about a ticket, keep PM's in check, and my 4x4 is over 10years old now!!!

I was in Tucson, Arizona last Friday and paid $3.50 per gallon to fill up my rental car. This morning I paid $4.07.
I personally don't think it is worth running all over town to save 10 cents or less per gallon so I will pay an extra $1.50 here and there to fill up my tank if the convenience is worth it.

I agree with you Mr P. People will drive clear across town to save 3 cents a gallon. If you need 20 gallons to fill up, you've saved a total of 60 cents.
People have an obsession with the price of gas.

also if you drive out of the way for 10cent less you've pretty much just used what you saved to get there, and back.
in some cases.

But I bet nobody over there drives a Hummer. Over here, you will see the most rediculously large vehicles carrying only one person because of years of "cheap" gas.

Today I went to the gas station nearest my home and paid $4.27 per gallon. Now I just looked up the lowest prices on the cheap gas link and found out that I did as well as was possible. I think this is the highest I have ever paid for gasoline. I was in Tucson, Arizona about 2 weeks ago and the price there was $3.50 but I'm guessing it is at least 25 cents per gallon higher now.

oh yea.... well that movie I listed is another stupid govt. conspiracy movie which I actually happen to like, but yeah, it will make u mad that were are paying this much for gas... its not neccesarily the war or the middle east to blame for our high gas prices, its our own faults for not capitalizing on a solution weve already had for 70-80 years now!
Watch my movie, youll love it!

Hummers are rare over here liftgirl, Normally by gents with small peni-s and big mouths with no brain to back up the lips.
They stand lop sided as the wallet to pay for gas in over bulging lol
