Down to $3.49 here this afternoon. That's over .30 less than 3-4 weeks ago.
Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands.

I doubt it'll decrease in Illinois. Illinois taxes gasoline by the COST PER GALLON, not on each individual gallon. BIG difference!

Down by about a dime from the peak, but still hovering over $3.75 in a lot of spots.

Gas and fuel need to get down to around $2.25 to $2.35 to be inline with where it should be compared to other items/goods.

Unrelated to gasoline so much, but in talking to my propane dealer (we heat in the winter with propane), price has gone down from $1.99 per gallon last year to the current price of $1.74.

I need to contract to buy 1,000 gallons. Last year we went through 800 gallons.

I think about the carbon footprint we're leaving and I just swooooooooon.  :-)

For the past 3 weeks the price has bounced around the $3.75 to $3.80 range.  I noticed this evening that it had jumped to $3.95.

I actually saw regular for 3.25 today.  I don't expect it to last.

I put premium in the MG today but it was only five gallons.

Paid $3.569 at BJ's Friday.

Still think I'm paying at least $1/gallon more than I should.  AT LEAST.

It is said that branches draw their life from the vine. Each is separate yet all are one as they share one life giving stem . The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.
