Still almost a buck too high....

I'm not going to be content until a fillup for my S-Class cars costs a maximum of 30 dollars, preferably under.

2.31 on 1960. but some station still have it for 2.69 as well. weird. all gas is within .03 of each other, but diesel is all over the map. so much for belief in pricing based on futures.

2.49 at the Arco down on the tideflats in Tacoma. RUG is 2.39 there. Highest I've seen is at a Shell at 2.99. Average seems to be around 2.69.
