GRRRR!!! Gasoline

[DarisMulkin]

I was going out to pick something up at Menard's yesterday and my daughter had used my wifes car to pick her daughter up at college. Brought the car back on empty according to my wifes instructions-so I could fill it up.
When going to the gas station on the way I noticed the station across the street was higher than the one I usually go to so I went in and got the nozzel in my tank and had selected my octane. A messege came across the screen-"one moment please". Then the price on the pump changed to a higher price by 3 cents.
Gas here is now $3.15 cheapest it has been in over a year.

When I look at my bills gas is one of the biggest monthly expenses and my wife only works 2 miles from home. I get reimbursed for gas but only for the travel to and from work. Driving around town and on trips is expensive. It's going to come down to people being STUCK buying from their most local stores.

Something make me think "they" saw this coming when they were building all these retail stores. It didn't make sense to me to have so many stores located on top of each other. But if it cost $5-10 to go anywhere else across town you pretty much have to suck it up and factor that in to any cost comparisons.They got you.

That's why Walmart is building Super Centers a few miles apart.

Wow, cheaper in LA than on the Oregon coast. I think $3.67 is the cheapest here............. oops, forgot the .9

Edit:
.......oops, I don't get out much.
Wallyworld is $3.57. Prices musta dropped over black Friday.

I did once, but the thought of crashing and exploding into smithereens is a turn off.

Just make the last fillup as close to your destination as you can without getting ripped. I wouldn't take gas with me........ no safe way to carry it.

I usually do this. My two options are to fill up in another state 45 miles away, or 160 miles leading to my destination.
