Man what a deal I went by Walmart this morning and they where $2.97 a gallon and they had that deal if ya used the Walmart card ya got 10 cents a gallon off , well I went to fuel up tonight and the price had jumped to $3.15 a gallon and the 10 cent deal ended now its only 3 cent off so instead of paying $2.87 a gallon I paid $3.12, man a 25 cent jump in 6 hours what a deal

Our little town just had a Casey' General Store open across the street from an Exxon , huge gas wars. The first week they were open $2.50 a gallon, they are still below $2.75

Man that's crazy, same thing was going on in Spartanburg S.C. a few months ago, every exit was advertising 3 and change a Gal. and I come up on exit 82 ( or there a bouts ) a new Q.T. had opened there and there was 3 stations off that exit all 3 where around 2.75 a gallon, but I went one exit down and they where back up to the 3 and change, seems if they can sell at that low price those high prices could come down a bit

And by the way I needed some bike parts so I rode from North G.A. to Spartanburg to get them just so I could fuel at those prices, :laugh: hell if you where a couple hundred miles closer I would be heading that way for one reason or another just to pay the low prices :laugh:

Sorta like detaining a few grandmas who can't go through a body scanner, then giving them a special number to call. :poke:

Come to NY and take out a second mortgage to fill up your trucks!! It's still slightly over $4 here, and that's the best it's been in awhile. Damn 4 Runner costs me like $80-85 to fill up every time. Have yourself a big pickup truck with dual tanks and it'll probably cost ya about $200 to fill up!!

I have a 1988 Ford F350 4x4 Dually flat bed with a 460 and a 5 speed. Dual tanks. Strictly a farm truck, gets 8 mpg no matter how you use it. I put less than 200 miles on it last year . Who can afford to drive it more?

Not surprised you missed the sarcasm. Also not surprised that you think the gas companies have that much market power.

I don't doubt it, who wants to see a $300 bill for a fill up?

I got a 09 Dodge 1500 with the 360 Hemi in it , I fueled last night and it was right at $70 but I had a quarter of a tank, but these newer trucks have a fuel saver device in them if I am on level ground not pulling it only runs on 4 cylinders I get about 18 around town and up to 22 on the highway, not great but could be worse, but that fuel saver thing blew my mind when I read up on it
