I just got home from a trip to Omaha.
Gasbuddy is a real savior (saver?)
Around here, most everyone is at $3.69, but about 30 miles out of town, in the middle of nowhere Minnesota, (St. Charles) there's a gas war or something going on. $3.47 where we filled up. Same thing around Des Moines / Ankeny. $3.59 or $3.69 everywhere, except 3 stations within 2 blocks where they're all $3.27. In Omaha, everything was $3.49 / $3.59, except a station in Underwood, IA, just east of Omaha, same $3.27 for a gallon.
We drove the wife's Impala, and the wind had a effect on our gas mileage. One the way out, driving into the wind - Red flag warnings out - couldn't break 29mpg, 28.8 was the best it would get to. Driving home, this is still an average, didn't reset, it rose to 29.9 average for the trip.
