Dropped to $3.54 since I last posted today.

Where do you live?  Even our regular is $3.86-$3.88 a gallon and goes up daily.

Still hanging out around the $3.70-3.75 mark.

Thanks, Barry.  Heating oil for my next fill at this rate is going to be about $3.60-3.70/gal around Christmas, meaning there's $700-plus that could have gone for the kids.

My wife went to Charleston, IL, to visit a grand-daughter yesterday.

Gasoline was $3.33/gallon, and at one place it was $3.16/gallon.

Geez........

I filled up at Sam's Club today... $3.90 for premium.  Still way too much money, but at least it wasn't $4.15 a gallon.

There's no rhyme or reason. Tonight it was $3.29 when I got gas in Indiana at a BP. Now it's $3.54 around here.  :???:

Kind of makes me wonder, are Obama supporters that own stations deliberately losing money to lower the prices?

Well it is supply and demand, especially on Sundays, when everyone, is rushing to get gas in their car for the week.

This might not be the best plan when it come to the life of one's in tank electric fuel pump (cavitation).  It can become accute when going around sharp curves with very low fuel.  You don't want to have to replace in tank fuel pumps, it can get expesive.

Good point, also in the north country, when it gets excessively cold, going down too low(lfuel light comes on)causes condensation in the fuel line, which is not good, and could ultimately hurt the engine. It doesnt have to be full, but at least to the half mark.

$.3.05/9 and $2.99/9 in the north end of county.

Thank you Mr. Obama for driving the economy into the ground so gas prices fall.

BTW: I still haven't gotten my gastank filled free by you.
