Doesn't cost JP Noonan much more to truck it to Sagamore or Sandwich than it does to Buzzards Bay. But, it's 20+ cents a gallon more.
Last night--Valero in BBay, $2.71, the Mobil at the 6A/Sandwich Rd fork, $2.95. Same price at the Citgo next to Pierpoint Glass, almost right under the bridge. |

I agree with you 100%.....they make it seem like they are doing us a favor. My reply was more sarcasm than anything else. |

It's called socio-economic condtioning. Cars, houses, food, gas clothes. Too bad the cost of living raises don't ever come close or move ahead of the trend.
Lert's face it, we are Lemmings.  |
Why even try.........

Yep...my raises over the past two years = 180$ increase but the problem is that the cost of health cars has gone up more than that. So my net pay is actually lower than when I started.....time for a new job.
Anyone looking for a network engineer who has Cisco, Nortel and Juniper experience? |

$2.65 in Whitman yesterday. I don't know why but this town consistantly has the lowest of the outrageously high prices.

What ever happened to all the so called experts predictions of $6 a gallon gas? Sounds like that was just a BS scare tactic to get people fired up. I'm hearing it could be down around $2 a gallon by Thanksgiving.

Yea, Skippy...it's all just a bad dream 
The 6 dollar predictions I've heard were based on geopolitical instability...not a natural trend anytime soon.

I dunno Spence, the middle east has been pretty tense lately with the Israel/Hezbolah conflict, the pipeline in Alaska shut down, shouldn't it be going higher and not lower right now?? |
