After Christmas Present

Diesel is $1.99 at Valero on Wesley/Traders in Greenville, Tx.

It was nice to pay $28 for 14.05 gallons...

Yeah, you've even got us beat. Wally's has been at 2.149 for about three weeks and with a gift card it is .030 less than that.

Rarely does any other station meet, let alone beat their price and the mileage from the Murphy-Oil diesel is as good or better than any station in town.

I'm thinking about getting a storage tank and filling it w/diesel to supplement when the pricing spikes back up...living in an unincorporated area does have advantages...

... if you get a fuel oil furnace tank, and properly mount it, it's ok in the city to store up to 500Gallons of diesel fuel.

I read an article this morning that was predicting crude oil dropping to $25 a barrel. That would be awesome. $35 is pretty nice. It sure beats prices from when it was over $100!

Travel trailer? Ha-ha! Old people 'pull trailers,' I always heard.

I filled the Mercedes-Benz diesel a week or so ago there for $2.25.

Invigorate, is that like viagra for your engine?

I've been gettin my Diesel for $1.81 here in Chandler AZ! I know this won't last and I've got my self a fuel tank to store fuel before the price goes up. Once Obama is in office we will see a push headfirst into the global warming crapola and god only knows what that will do to fuel prices!

Scientists everywhere now are coming out against this fraud now that they are not being paid to say it's true! Gee, who didn't see this coming! And Al Gore? Why he buys his carbon offsets from his own company so he can jet around in a private plane soaking up 20 times what we use and get paid for it! This man should be charged with fraud!
