    Wonder why there is so much difference in cost from area to area? Last weekend when Dan and went to Bradenton Florida for the races, gas was much higher there, like $ 2.49 a gallon, and they are only 80 miles away, and further North. If anything I would think gas would be lower there because they don't have to truck it so far South as we are. Crazy.

    I keep giving all the hardcore Republicans at work a hard time, telling them "Wow, look what has happened since Obama got elected.........prices are dropping like crazy!!" They hate me at work. lol

    We have the same thing here. On our side of town Chevron is 2.79 a gallon, as is 76.
    closer to the freeway it is 2.41 a gallon and is the 76 there. It just doesn't make sense. This guy consistently is 30 cents a gallon more than any other place. I can fo 13 miles north and get it 35 cents cheaper and 20 miles south and the same 30 cents less. I protest by never getting gas from him. Eventually he'll get the message if everybody does the same. I'm thrilled at paying 38 bucks to fill my tank about 15 gallons this week, vrs. 65 a couple of months ago!

    When prices were rising it was those evil, greedy oil companies at fault. Going down it's "The One" who gets credit for good outcomes. So when Barry, Harry, and Nancy slap on "windfall" profits tax and carbon cap and trade regulation and prices sky rocket again while supplies dwindle it'll be the evil greedy oil companies at fault once more? I'm hearin' the Four Tops..............

    I think we are headed for a quarter a gallon again!! Maybe my hair will grow back, I'll lose 20 pounds, and that cute girl in English class will finally give me a chance.

    Hey, it's possible.................................
