gas prices got you down...

Come on out to Plano IL and feel like you went back in time!

Last night I went to fill up my truck and I was VERY surprised to see that gas was $2.99 / gal! Last week it was $3.04. I filled up my gas guzzler truck and then I went back to fill the MINI. The 91 was $3.19 I want to say. Sorry. Ah, along with seeing the stars @ night another bonus of living in the country. Too bad I drive 100 miles / day.

Oh, and at a station near Waterman the price of premium is LESS than the price of unleaded! It is because they sell more gas to the pickup truck folk than anyone else.

Oh, well, time to drive 50 miles to work.

Gas has dropped $.10 here in Virginia (Richmond Metro area) in the last week. I usually use Chevron where I got it the other day for $2.97/gal for 93 octane.
