We're at 2.50 here in the panhandle and I am PRAYING we don't get another hurricane or that will be the excuse to bump it up to the number of death.

I got ya'll all beat. I paid 2.69 for super the other night, now, not the higest price in the world. Drove it to work the next day and on the way home it start sputtering and choking. Turns out that I got bad gas from the exxon station. So, an extra 5 bucks at autozone for water remover, 100 bucks for new plugs and wires---one plug was fouled now----decided to change all and follow up with new wires, and another tank of now 2.78 a gallon after I siphoned out all the bad gas once I got home.

Talk about a shitty weekend.

And the people who pass these bills line their own pockets with the savings.

I live in BFE not close to any major cities in illinois at all and im a farmer, anywho all the gas stations raised their prices...

87: $2.63, 89:$2.75, and 93:$2.95 all per gallon....talk about raping me...get a $300 a week check and $150 of it goes into my gas.

Can't wait till harvest starts when we have to fill our 8.1L everyday with fuel since when we pull wagons behind it we only get 4mpg.
