.25c in one day give me a break already! It was at more than one station too so it wasnt like it was just a fluke. Enough is enough........

Yeah but they'll have to switch over to the summer blend, which will be another excuse to raise the price.

It didn't go up around town, but I did notice that a truck stop had diesel for $3.79 yesterday, and they just got down that low this week, and today it was back up to $3.83. Go figure.

It makes whiskey look cheaper. I used to look at a bottle of whiskey and say to myself, " I could buy 10 gallons of fuel instead." Now I look at a bottle of whiskey and say, " It's only 3 gallons of fuel. Not a bad trade". IE I drink more whiskey.
