Up to 2.82/gallon for 93 at the local Shell station. There are cheaper places around here but, not much.

I buy at the Sunoco over in VA where I work and it was 2.67 for 93 today if I remember right. It's gonna hit $3.00/gallon around here soon I bet.

i can still remember pumping 15 bucks into my dads 95 F-150 and getting a full tank, it was something like .71 a gallon. Some say we might see that again someday. They were talking about how bad it got in the 70's and 80's or whatever and then it getting better, hopefully that time will come around soon. I hardly make enough to drive to work anymore

They would build more refineries if the damn tree huggers would let them.

I'm not complaining yet, my trip to Austin last weekend netted me 20mpg. Been averaging 18mpg city driving in PCola. If truck wasnt paid for I'd be downsizing the rig, something that sips gas a lot slower.

That Shell station I mentioned above is now up to 2.96 for 93. $.14 in two days?

I will check prices over by where I work tomorrow, don't think they've gone up that much though.
