Went through town today and diesel was $5.69 on the north end and $4.99 on the south end. Town is only a couple miles long.
When I see stuff like that I keep it in memory and never go back. The small town stations around me are usually more expensive but that is (somewhat) understandable, even though they are screwing the locals by purposely charging them more. I will go there occasionally but I definitely don't make a habit of it.
 
I drive as little as I have too.
So I have not filled up in a week.
I always have too.
I go out maybe once a week, more like once every week&a-half. A tank of gas usually lasts me more than 6 months.
And since I can find something good in absolutely anything, the high price of gas is having a positive impact on wasteful consumption.:thumbs:
The herd of young people around here that jump in their cars every 15 minutes and go sumwhere, that drive up and down our street constantly, have finally slacked up. :)
"OMG! I'm out of butter! I'll be back from the store in a few minutes."gaah
...And I think they may finally be learning how to make a list.:D:thumbs:

I am about to find out what the gas price is. I haven't had to fill up for over a month. It will be filling the top half of a 15 gallon tank so it will be less than $40.
 
It went up here too , 4.77 for reg..I think 5.65 for D. Not enough to stop all the folks from comming up the mountain with their big trucks n trailers tho..gah..
Its usually not normal to have lots of traffic this way unless the other highway has a landslide or a holiday weekend. I usually stay close to home during these times ..crowds, traffic , tailgaters n crazy drivers in a rush tend to destroy my calm...
 
I paid $4.69 a couple days ago, I could get it a little cheaper elsewhere but I'd rather support the family owned stations in town than try to hunt down a slightly lower price.
 
So I needed gas today. Tank was getting low. I happened to see a gas station near me that had gas about 10 cents a gallon cheaper than everybody else. Go for it an filler up. $60.70, a new personal record. I drive a freakin' Honda Accord!! Not a tractor trailer. Gas was $4.35 a gallon.
 
Cost me $30.00 to mow the lawn

I hear ya, it's just shy of 50 bucks to fill my mower right now, which I have to do again tomorrow, ugh. And I don't even get 2 cuts out of that.
 
I only leave the property a few times a month for the most part. I got in the habit of filling up on the way home ANY time I go out. Prices are mostly only moving in one direction so generally speaking it's cheaper today than it will be the next time I go out.
 
Woot Woot! Another 20 cent jump overnight to 4.79.............................

Welp......another 20 cent jump overnight, it hasn't hit our local station but in the city 20 miles from us it's 4.99, soon to be here I'm sure.
