$1.65 in Palm Beach

I want to buy an SUV soon...but I'm afraid the gas prices will rise up again to make me regret it.




This summer they'll go up again, but there's no telling how much.

We could sell all our possessions and live out of my van.   :naughty:

And will you be parking next to me....


DOWN BY THE RIVER????



And FWIW, gas is anywhere between $1.49 and $1.57 a gallon here, with Diesel going for about $2.45 (yet strangely, heating oil still goes for $2.40 a gallon, and it's the SAME DAMNED THING, supposedly without the taxes.)

$1.55 here in Eastern NC

$1.57 in Western NC (Asheville area).  Go into the mountains where there's less competition and more tourists and it's probably higher.

Speaking of PTO (and gas), I think I'm going to take a couple weeks off some time around July or August.  Should have the old two-wheeled turd up and running by then and I want to go somewhere.  Poor thing was covered in ice this morning. :(

Hurry up.  I have a guy ride coming up in June to New Mexico and Colorado.  Free lodging in New Mexico!

I paid $1.41 two weeks before Christmas, but it has risen since then and it's running around $1.55 now.  It's the holiday price gouge season.
That's why I was amazed to find it Monday for $1.23 a gallon. I've seen more area stations with it for $1.29. My new (to me) all wheel drive car's mileage isn't quite as good as the previous car, so hope the prices remain low. I was a little surprised, as the new car is smaller than the older one. It must be that all wheel drive reducing the mileage.
