Gas

[nitmik]

It's been so long since I have bitched about this, so I thought I would bring it up again. I got gas in my car last night and it was only $2.48 per gallon, it's kind of funny, but this seemed like a great price.

[rockgremlin]

Ya, I'm really liked the recent price decrease. The place near me is at $2.45, and I've seen it as low as $2.41.

Costco is selling it for $2.35 I think.

I'm still paying well over $3/gallon for diesel, and I hear it's even more expensive up north. I wish Sam's Club sold diesel, then it would be worth driving my truck up there this winter instead of my car, since I have to work in Provo sometimes.

I saw a sign about 2 days ago for diesel fuel in Sandy that was $3.69 per gallon... why is that sooo much more expensive?

[DickHead]

Since we bought my Hyundai we drive the wife's SUV very little, mostly locally around WJC. So not only are we putting the higher miles on the least expensive vehicle to own and operate, we're preserving the resale on the more expensive vehicle.
And I get to use the SUV for forays into the mountains. Best of both worlds.
I do wish I had a truck, though....

Anything over $2.00 is still robery. Thanks "W".

I went to phoenix in May and paid 1.60 a gallon and thought that was high, how I look forward to those days again.

Nobody should make this much money, unless it's me

Do any of you remember the good ole days when a gas war would erupt between gas stations and you could fill your tank up at 24 cents a gallon?? Of course you don't but it used to happen. Now the gas war is between us and them, they take the price per gallon to limit, back it down two cents and then we're supposed to feel good about it. Right now I'm using my missonary daughters little saturn, it gets two and half times the milage of my Cherokee. When she gets back I'll be sh.t our of luck.

It's all Bush's Fault -- just like Hurricane Katrina, Global Warming, the Train Bombings in Spain, the Subway Bombings in London, El Nino, and the Tsunami that hit Indonesia are all Bush's fault too.

It's also Bush's fault that I'm not rich and fat. It's Bush's fault!! Blame it on Bush!! It's all his fault!! Everything negative or bad in this world right now is Bush's fault!!!!!!!

Not to mention Natural Gas will be going up 20 %. What's the total for Questar so far this year?? Lord, my blood pressure can't even keep UP with them.

I haven't noticed what the prices have done around here lately. I haven't filled up since Oct. 6th.

I've decided that instead of heating our house this winter we will just go to the mall to get warm

That's not a bad idea! They have nice restrooms, and food. I'm sure you could probably live there for most of the winter -- kinda like Tom Hanks in Terminal.

[Superriffic S*]

Live at the MALL!?!?!? Sounds like the ideal surroundings for me. I could pitch a tent in the outdoor section at DICK's sporting goods... get the sun that I need at Limelite tanning... eat at Z'tejas everyday... pick out clothes to wear at Hollister and AE... THIS IS PERFECT!!! Thanks for the idea!

[nitmik]

and some mall have those water massaging machines, now that would rule

You forgot that its Bush's fault that China and India are increasing thier oil consumption in amounts that we can't even imagine.

Ya, and that in another 20 years, China will be an unstoppable global powerhouse. Who's gonna stop em? They have over a sixth of the world's population!!

The wife and I took a weekend for our anniversary. We went to Bear Lake, and spent a day in Jackson Hole, and Teton Nat'l Park.

I filled up the car at $2.37 a gallon. I just had to snap a shot of it. It' s funny how I thought this was a good price. Just across the street it was $2.49 a gallon. And the cheaper was at Chevron!

This is just before Jackson Hole, at Hoback Junction. It's either Hoback or Hobart, I can't remember. But fuel is definitely less expensive there. Then it jumps $.20 ten miles later into town.
