And I wouldn't pay $2.50 for a lexus, let alone 25 dollars. Maybe 25 cents.

So, I guess it all evens out in the end.

And, oh where oh where Dave was this magical Mustang sitting that you paid 25 dollars for it? Or should I say when. :p And in what kind of shape?

A little revival really quick. HOw do you all think that gas is going to be effected by th new coming Hurricane. We don't have to go to school monday or tuesday because Georgia closed schools due to the fact that it apparently is going to be way to expensive to keep the busses running on those days or something like that (due to gas prices).

you brought back an oldish topic. but since you did. ill reply. right now, the gas prices in MI are relaticvely normal. i filled up (well to a quarter tank.... which i call full) at $2.599 . and ive heard theres a couple 2.49s around and a rumor of a .42 too. and i heard that Rita is getting weaker now? im hoping so.
buses go on diesel. the price for diesel didnt jump too much around here. maybe in georgia but here, diesel was the cheapest gas when 87 was going at over 3.

The prices here in Canada are relatively normal too, but I'm a bit annoyed that some gas stations seem to be jumping the gun on raising their prices, profiting from the flood of people who are trying to fill up their cars before Rita makes things worse. For example, a few stations here on the island of Montreal were charging $1.85 CAN /L (which is about $5.95 US /gal) last night as a result, instead of the $1.11 /L ($3.60 /gal) being charged everywhere else.

The price of gas is still stable here but there are long lines at the pump. As soon as Rita hits prices will sky rocket.

Wow, a gas day. That's a first.

Wow... Wish we had them... At these prices, it'd always be a gas day!

He called it an "early snow day"
But the down side to this is that if we have one snow day (we generally have 1 or 2 a year aka cold days), we have to make it up in June.

Gas is now steadily at around $2.76-2.81ish a gallon. For now, I'm content, it could be much more.

I got gas on Saturday for $2.67 a gallon. I was happy. I have officially been brainwashed. We used to say, "Oh my gosh, it will never get to $2.00 a gallon!" now I'm excited about $2.67... And people wonder why I haven't driven home since Labor Day...

... and back up they go again! Just a few weeks ago, I managed to get a couple of gallons for $2.37. Now I'm seeing $2.89+ again. Sigh.... :ahh:
