$2.89 per gallon fill-up,, what'cha paying now???

The nearest Costco to me is 105 miles away in another state. I have never been there. Slightly closer, is SamsClub at 80 miles, but I do not get gas there often. Murphy Gas is my 'goto' station, although I have a Shell card as well.

 

$2.93/gal at Costco on Monday before the storms arrived.

...sorry Jimbo, our Costco gas station is < 1 year old but it really changed the low cost position...we are $2.98 at Costco

OK so I think you have 21 cents state tax to my 17 cents, so I am paying about $2.62 before tax (for EPA RFG) and your are paying $2.53 for non-RFG...that sounds just about right...my gaso is a more expensive "boutique" blend.

 

What you all going to spend the $1.07 per tank saving on?

 

I am doing better than that but I would like the downward pressure.

More gas. I am taking my wife to see fall foliage on the Blue Ridge Parkway.

107 1-cent fizzy cola bottle chews.

And this is why high petrol prices are a good thing.

 

That's a lot of tanks worth. Good to have an aim though. It would be rude not to

 

Do you get them in Oz? Stuff this Haribo nonsense, nothing beat a quarter of fizzy cola bottles from your corner shop.

 

We do. They're not 1 cent any more, though. I like the fizzy cherry cola ones too.

Qatar was brilliant for this sort of thing: there were big sweet shops in the souq full of pick-and-mix sweets. There was interesting Middle Eastern stuff, and there were proper, loose, fizzy cola bottles.

At our school tuck shop, we had beer-flavoured chews in the shape of pint glasses. They went well with those candy cigarettes. Start 'em early, I say.

You're right: Haribo is a poor imitation of the joy of a proper fizzy cola bottle.

 

lol I used to love those. The candy cigarettes with the banned red food colourant on the end, all nicely presented in a pretend fag packet. Kids today don't know they're born lol.

And then there was Junior Beer from Viz lol.

 

I do look at those candy cigarettes now and think "What were the grown-ups thinking?"

On the plus side, the beer chews looked like a pint of proper Northern beer, with a proper creamy head. It is good to educate kids as early as possible.

 

For two weeks , west Michigan price $ 225 jumped to $ 325 ,,,, who knows why , price
Of oil goes down , gas goes up

 

That sounds nice! You'll probably find some low cost gaso and maybe some E0 over in that region.

 

$3.25 to $3.65 Central Valley in Kalifornia today.

 

^ They have a carbon scheme to pay for.

$2.79 on the Redneck Riviera......

 

£1.23 a litre here Down from £1.40 about a year ago. It now works out at $6.93 a US gallon. Down from about $8 a US gallon earlier this year.

Still keeping the Prius though.

 

We have until Jan 1, 2015 until that kicks in.

 

$3.05 at the local, $2.85 at costco. that's a 25 cent drop in a week. how low will it go?

 

Low enough for Putins cronies to get rid of him? I think there's some way to go.
