Offroad is about 30cents/gal cheaper here... I would say 1.02/gal is some home brew.

it's getting nuts guys.i dunno what we're gunna do.
to keep my business a float,iv decided,once i get my truck back from the body shop,im going to make some lightweight removable aluminum stake sides.
i have her stripped down right now and went for a ride.holy crap doesn't she roll easy without pushing that massive wall.
to help with fuel economy,them need to be off now more than ever when traveling to/from work unloaded.
iv got to get on the lookout for another small car too,cus i had to scrap my last one.
got to have a car too.no way around it.
