Diesel Price Dropped!
Not to jinx myself, but I just paid $2.16_9 for fuel today. I've been out of town all week, but I thought I noticed it drop a bit in Albuquerque, and sure enough when I fueled up today, it was down!!

Also, I just got 18.26 mpg off this tank (514 miles off 28.15 gal). I was very nice to it this time, and only got on it a few times. I'm thinking I should be able to get closer to 20 if I really baby it. Admittedly, it's VERY hard to do that...

He has to mean $3.169!!!!!!!!!

The price here in my part of So Cal is $3.299. Still better than the $3.499 it was a couple of weeks ago, but for now, I"m still driving my gas trucks.

I think it may have been something more like kerosene than reg unleaded. I bet he meant $3.169, too, because it is not April 1 yet.

I just filled up this morning with B20 here in Birmingham, and paid $3.169. It was $3.199 late last week.

Maybe he filled up at a Guard Base? Fuel might be cheaper at the PX.

$3.55 here in Washington State.. Bio is $3.99.. Gets much higher, i am going to start making bio.. If the government wants our economy to improve, they should find a way to lower fuel prices a whole bunch... Instead of sending us a rebate check..!

And you know Joe is watching this and laughing at us. Don't this remind you of another poster, named Gene.
