I'll be back up there in a month. Here at Ft Bliss (El Paso) it is 3.82 on post last time I topped off. It might be higher now.

Don't worry about it. Gas jumped 25 cents this weekend, so pretty soon we'll all be back in the suck together.

So everybody who's saying now they can't afford diesel so they want a gasser...... what are they gonna be saying when gas gets just as expensive?

It's $4.09 here in Omaha, but that will change soon I'm sure. I've entertained the thought a time or two of trading in both the '97 and the '06 for a new F-150. Damn.

$4.15 here in Bismarck, ND.

I work in a OTR truck/trailer shop, you should hear what I hear everyday . It sucks filling my SuperDuty, but I feel real sorry for these guys trying to make a living while getting gouged at the pump.

Check the mileage figures carefully. An F-150 isn't as frugal as you might imagine.

redford hit the nail on the head. i'm only getting a mile or two to the gallon less with my 5.4 1 ton. without the set of payments to top it off. i would'nt give up my sd for a couple dollars less a week in gas. because when i need to haul or pull anything. i have it. i just don't see the point in my opinion.

Diesel around here is not uncommon to see $4.09-$4.29, depending on which end of town. I dont want to hear about gas being TOO EXPENSIVE!!!!!

Cheapest place in town, $4.53

Their sign doesn't have a "4" on it for dollar amounts, so all it says is " .53"

Gas yesterday was $3.79 - closing the gap with diesel, that's for sure.

Anyone want to make a still on Long Island?

Last time I was on Long Island some unfriendly teamsters burnt down our terminal at Garden City, Long Island, NY. You near there? Some of the finest Italian people in the world live near you, and, as confirmed on the GODFATHER, your soil is excellent for veggies. Stay home, grow tomatoes and peppers. Send me sauce!

Believe it or not we have all been spoiled paying alot lower prices for many years than other nations. Yes here in the good ol USofA we should be paying less but in reality "they" predict that we will be out of oil and using reserves buy 2015. But what pisses me off is the major fuel companies have been recording record profits in the past few years.
We should also be funding the war in Irac with all their friggin oil.
