Yup, I just spend $45 yesterday filling the old girl(only 16 gals). Doing that every third day is really going to put a hurt'n on me. For as much as I have despised getting a little sheet-box, it might come to that. Won't be able to afford to drive to work to GET a paycheck!!

On E. 3rd st. in Dayton a place called Big Al's was $2.55. It's cash only, so I stop at the ATM before I go. I don't think it's any different than anybody else's gas they just don't have to deal with the credit card charges and hassles.

Giant Eagle has a really good gas incentive program at stores with pumps. You buy your groceries like normal and then at the end of the month you earn a discount on gas for one fill-up. Many times the gas has cost me less than a buck a gallon. I fill up both my truck tanks and bring three five gallon gas cans to fill up too. They do limit you though, last time I could only pump 30 gallons @ 79 cents per gallon. The time before I pumped 40 gallons. It gets me through a couple of weeks in my gas hog.
Also, Sam's Club is usually 10 to 15 cents cheaper for its members on gas.

thank George W for it and also the japs and chineese for more demand, blame the global economy for that. why should we have to pay more if their demand is higher?? they should have to pay not us.
