using arkansasgasprices.com i see Diesel is 2.47 in my area and Rug is 2.15. what pisses me off is that i have not seen that 2.47 and most stations are still at 3.09, 2.79... all over and all way to high. they just take their time changing their prices.

in germany when truckers get pissed (which i would be if i were one) they park their 18 wheelers on the highway until things get fixed, and when you have thousands of trucks blocking everything things get fixed fast.

we should arrange something...

Still holding at $2.35 here. RUG, however, has dropped to $1.99 at a couple of stations in a nearby town.

well isn't that sweet. i just moved to conway and now i have found a forum member. we need to meet to see our cars, and talk about your Wvo trade. i did lots myself and need to get back into it here in conway.

dont want to steal the thread so i can say that my wife filled up the benz at 2.58 and not 2.47 like the site advertized. so it is cheaper in Greers Ferry.

Just today it dropped to $2.69 and is now the same price as premium.

Its been .20 higher than prem.

Truckers will not do a thing to help the price drop. They just pass the "savings" on to the consumer and keep driving. If we could get the truckers behind us we'd get some quick results but I can't forsee that happening until we quit buying groceries.

Cheers,

Bill
