I think that is a problem everywhere. The route I take to work everyday has a posted limit of 65, but lately the average has been 85.:eek:Quote:

The worse ones are the women driving SUV's and mini vans and anybody driving a Prius. Prius drivers act as if it is their God given right to go as fast as they desire.:mad:
Bob - the Prius drivers are going as fast as it can.Quote:

Springfield, Mo $2.95 to $3.09 depending on which end of town you happen to be. That's for 87, I don't even look any higher.
Finger Lakes region of NY $3.29-3.43 for 87.
3.15 this morning in Independence Mo
3.08 at Petro in Joplin Mo
2.99 at Big Cabin Oklahoma
All for 87 Octane
Sending this to you all from my laptop flying down US69 in North Oklahoma on my way home.
its 302 for 87 in okc**)
A neat web location to look at gas prices is "xxgasprices.com" where xx is a major city. For instance, "dallasgasprices.com" pops up a page with gas prices for Dallas Texas. You can graph the historical prices and also graph them relative to two other cities.....
mike in tucson
In lafayette Indiana it was 3.30 for 87 octane yesterday, and down to 3.13 for the same today. about friday it will be back at 3.30 for the weekend.
Where I live it is 3.19, 3.34, 3.44. We are about .10 higher than most places around here. If I go to Memphis(about 60 miles North) I always fill up. It's usually .15 cheaper there.
A real pain in the behind driving home from KCMO today. I noticed a lot of the independent truckers were driving unusually slow, blocking lanes etc. Not too bad but noticable. I think they were protesting the high cost of diesel fuel. I feel for them but, good luck with all that. I did notice a train of about 20-25 hotrods and kustoms out in a driving rainstorm around Eufaula Ok. That was cool
Sorry for hijacking the thread......
Angie, Didn't I see your truck at the CoonAss a few years back??? (a week before Katrina, actually). I think I talked with you and your husband. You also had a matching trailer to tow behind the truck. You heading down to Hammond in a few weeks? I can't make it this year. Hope you have good weather for the event.
BTW, welcome to CHR!
on my way to work this morning $3.19,:rolleyes: on the way home this evening,same place,$3.29,and of couse I'm on empty:CRY:
I believe it was the Democrats who scuttled drilling in ANWAR and now they are the ones complaining about the oil company profits. I say paint the oil rigs white so as not to scare the caribou and build a refinery in Anchorage. The Congress had a chance to allow drilling in ANWAR with a trade to raise the CART mileage limits, but they could not work together for the good of the country! Draw you own conclusion!

here where i live it is 3.21 a gallon.
Yep, Don, you are so correct about ANWAR, the California Coast, off shore both Florida and North Carolina. and the Democrats succumbing to the tree huggers and bunny lovers. I will happen eventually, but they sure are making it tough for the average man to live within his means. What they have done is create a feeling of entitlement for many of those that have no understanding of economics. While I have no problem with folks that are oriented to nature - there has to be a balance, and their way often is not.Quote:

Unfortunately I can't even get them from him as he tried to fly his plane under some power lines - and couldn't.
