BTW - two things I have done which improve mileage, drive 65-70 on the hwy instead of 70-80 - worth 2 mpg on average, and the other thing was to get a Scan Guage ( http://www.scangage.com/ ) which allows me to watch my instantaneous mileage and drive more efficiently... Between the two I can push into the high teens on the highway... |
you went and bought a Ford when you already had a Chevy that got good mileage 
take the wifey's car to work 
it's 2.79 here in Middleboro so I filled up at 2.69 in Easton today, and of course the pump stops at 75 bucks because I used my card at the pump  didn't even fill it up  |

Ya well sunoco was the station that was 2.79 in Middleboro, the sunoco in Easton was only a penny cheaper at 2.78
the Mobil was 2.69
75 bucks to not even fill up hurts.
Last summer I remember putting 100 dollars in once when I was on fumes, ONCE!
Easton is full of yuppies  |

$2.69 today at the Hess next to Mike's shop--cheapest in the area.
$3 by Memorial Day? Try by April 30. It's been going up at least a dime a week since early March, and there are stations that are already in the mid-$2.80s.
In what other industry does a price increase in the raw material it's made from, that hasn't even been delivered yet, result in an instantaneous price hike?

Not to get too political, but what other industry has the leader of the free world making broad idiological challenges to demand radical change among the primary supply base.
Can anyone say hedge fund?
