It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

Paid $4.71 last tank full. My little 10 gallon commuter cost $47 bucks to fill. I was glad I wasn't driving the SUV which takes 16 gallons to fill and ruffly go the same distance. That would have been around 75bucks!
Yesterday driving North to Santa Rosa I saw gas for around $4.29 a gallon. I was temperarily estatic, until I remembered a month ago I was bitching about this price! We have a local Chevron Refinery in Richmond that supplies most of the gas locally to Northern California. They had a fire at the refinery so our prices went from around 3.95 a gallon to a high of 4.75 a gallon, and are now just starting to go back down. Somebody said the increase was also related to the "winter mixture", which made me laugh, as last summer the increase was related to the "Summer" mixture! Somewhere some corperate types must be havin a good laugh!"

It's been running around $3.32 here in Texas but I paid $4.49 in Bakersfield last week.
I couldn't even stand to watch the numbers go by on the pump. I just gave the clerk
a $50 and didn't bother counting the change. LOL.

Last night coming home I saw $4.21 at a chevron. Hope the downward spiral continues to the high twos! (dreaming of easier financial days!) At Safeway it was $4.16 a gallon for regular.Last edited by stovens; 10-28-2012 at 12:10 PM.

Right after I posted yesterday it was down again, I don't think it's getting better.
Where is everybody?
