..just got back from running some L144's out to Alex, we meet about half way......always nice to see him again....not a bad ride either, tunes and a cup of coffee....plus, I got gas for $1.61/gal......gotta love that..

I can't believe that gas is cheaper up your way than it is down here close to the pumping and refining places.  Go figure...?Alex will enjoy the snots.  I know that I love mine.

1.61?  Wow, I was happy to see 1.98 in a few places around here.

It was $1.80 here in town...and $1.78 out in the QC area....smack in between is Dixon....weird.....I have a Road Ranger member discount card that gets me a nickle off at the pump....it's link to our bank.....so $1.66/gal less my nickle gets me the prize....LOL.....too bad it's about 40 miles away....

Thanks for the fish Jon, got them settled in this morning and gave them a snack. I've been alternating between water changes and breaking up ice dams up on the roof all day.

I thought real hard about filling up the truck, figured the price would be cheaper by the time I got back to Iowa. Still $1.79, go figure. I can't remember a time gas was cheaper in Illinois than Iowa.

Probably the same reason seafood is always more expensive at the shore. <<sigh>>

[LizStreithorst]

Not the same.

Just an example. You may have higher taxes. Where I am we have the highest fuel tax in the area. And the highest electric rates in the state.

We've got a few stations at $1.83/gallon but many other stations in the same county 10-15 cents higher.  A station I go to after the aquarium society meeting was consistently lower than station close to work. Now they are more. Hard to figure what is going on. Everything is a askew.

...Around here, I swear, they price by driving around and seeing what the other stations prices are...but RR is the cheapest all the time...

I know when I lived in Illinois they had some of the highest gas prices in the country. At times even higher than NYC when I was traveling back and forth. Now Illinois is cheaper than Delaware where it was 2.03 yesterday.

Looking good......

I didn't think anywhere was higher than here and CA. Right now the lowest in the Seattle area that I've found is 1.98 at Costco. Others around are still over 2.00.

[Mugwump]

It's not dropping much anymore around here.....I'm just hoping that prices hold for awhile now...

[wsantia1]

We are stuck at 2.01 in my neck of the woods. I'm waiting for that magical sub 2.00 price everybody on the news is talking about.

I filled up yesterday for $1.92 at Shell.  It's nice to get a tank for less than $20 again.....
