Funny how the retailers cling to the increasingly insignificant "nine tenths" marketing convention.
Edit: Regular gas here in the southeast is around $1.60. At $2.00, I'll start flying rather than driving for work since the mileage rate just wont cut it for me. Also, I'm tired of the constant "wall" of tractor-trailers I encounter. Bob

Nice premium for Full Serve! One fill up per hour and the "petroleum transfer technician's" salary is more than covered! My kind of business.

I thought you were amazed about a gas station still offering "full" service. Ain't seen that in a while 'round here.

On the bright side...if there is one..after adjusting for inflation, gas is still cheaper than the early '80s.

The difference is really amazing when you drive cross country. Some states really lay on the gas taxes, dont they?

Too big to fail

Interesting anectdote. 100 octane racing gas @ Thunderhill was $5/gallone when I filled up @ 8:00am. When I topped off at 3:00 or so, they'd raised it to $5.20/gal!

"funny, that reminds me of a friend's first date.... the next morning everyone ambushed him with questions, "did you kiss her?"
"yes" "WHERE?!!!????" "on the porch...." "NO DUMBASS, where on her face?"" From THREE AMIGOS Girl: "Lucky, will you kiss me on the veranda?" Chevy Chase: (pause) "face would be fine."
