You Saw It Here First

This is at Exit 78 or 79 I-85 in South Carolina. I also recorded 23.6 mpg to and from Jody and Diane's. If you think I did not cram it plum full at that price you're sadly mistaken.[IMG]<a href="http://s61.photobucket.com/albums/h53/markadeck/?action=view&current=HereFirst.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h53/markadeck/HereFirst.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>[/IMG]

Sweet mileage Mark. I only wish that fuel was that cheap here.

Still about two dollars higher than it should be...


Where's that, Spartanburg? Or around there somewhere, always cheaper in that neck of the woods.

That was at 67 mph too, believe it or not. Just about 1990 rpm.

North of Spartanburg, almost to Gaffney. Every place else anywheres near was 40 to 50 cents higher. Jody suggested I fill up there as that is what he had done and there was no problem with the fuel. That was using his 80E setting.

Yes I did. From the OBS driver in front of me in line and the 18 wheeler using the big rig pump.

Ya'll don't think for a minute that prices are that low every where around here, cause it ain't. Mark has found the exception. It was 3.79 on the way home from work this morning most places.
