I had a Sub $50 fill up today, I was so happy that.......well I didn't really do anything. *****ing about gas prices is about as productive as *****ing about who's President.

OK, Eric, you make me sick!! ;)

Premium is about $153/gal here.

I know of a cheaper station (.20 or so less) about ten miles from my place. I'm now in the habit of putting about $5 in the tank until I'm in the area of that station then I fill up all the way. Hell of a way to have to save bucks!

I could be wrong, but I think it's because less diesel fuel is made from the crude. With less diesel being processed than regular, the price rises more dramaticaly.

I frequently see it around $2.59/$2.79/$2.89 for the three grades. That's mostly down on the peninsula (Palo Alto, silicon valley) it's steep down there.

The price has moved me to get my 617 converted to SVO though I'm still leaning towards going all out and trying to brew bio-diesel. Less potential grief in the engine, but more for my body: Methonal=big time poison. It's a tough one.

Lot's of grease to be had around here. A news article about a month ago -- some waste management company was fined big time for dumping over 1,000 gallons of used fryer oil into the sewer system of Palo Alto. Came from the Palo Alto country club. Popped up manhole covers -- a bunch of 'em. :eek:

Oops! Must be the years of paying less than two freakin' bucks a gallon for gas. Yeah, I meant $1.53/gal.

Never thought I'd think it'd be nice to have to pay only $1.53/gal for gas!! :mad:

where are you finding $1.53 a gallon at......you aren't that far from me....the cheap places top that by $0.75 a gallon...

Cheapest I've found is the BP on the corner of Old Dominion and Chain Bridge Road in McLean. $2.55 there yesterday.

There's also an Exxon way down Old Dominion where it meets Rt. 29 (on the way to Spout Run) where gas is usually pretty cheap-- especially on Thursdays.

Premium was $2.48 there yesterday and .02 cheaper at the generic brand gas station across the street.

You could also hit the Costco out Rt. 7 if you belong, but their prices are about the same as the regular gas stations I've found above.

I figured it was over $2....hell I would be in line at the DNV to put tags back on my gasser if the price differential got that big.

Frank X. Morris 07-23-2005 07:59 AM

Howdy All,
Price hasn't changed here for 2 weeks, still $2.59. I guess they are waiting for the next holiday.

mzsmbs 07-23-2005 12:06 PM
