Diesel is a few cents per litre more expensive.

Filling the tank on my W123 takes about US$90
Off the top of my head sounds about $4.50is per US gallon.

Go scream at your government, they are the ones tacking on crazy taxes to it. We all pay the same for light sweet crude.

I just filled our w123's last night for $3.099/gallon.

My filling station just upgraded their pumps with pump top TV. Weird ... it's like the ones they have in the checkout lanes at my local ACME supermarket.

Advertising clips and little segments about nonsense. You can't escape TV anymore.

Even Chevron and Shell are down to $1.99 for regular.

Believe me, I'll keep watching every drop of the liquid gold, and conserving it (as well as the paper green in my wallet). Still, maybe I could think about a road trip back to Birmingham in December. . . .
