$3.00 at the local cheapee ARCO. Standard brands are at about $3.10 for regular. DeDe gets 12 mpg which isnt bad for a 390 but puts the hurt on the greenbacks.

Dr Dave, you figure that's a rip huh. The oil comes out of the ground in a series of wells, that if you drew a fifty mile circle around my house, you probably would not be able to count them all. It's refined in northern Alberta.
I pay basically the same as you. :shock:
They also pipeline it to Billings, Mt. for refinement, where it comes out a buck a gallon cheaper.
What's wrong with this picture?
It's a race.. Will hell freeze over or will JC finish his truck first. Stay tuned..

Premo here is $3.31 a gallon... Partially my companys' fault though lol (work at the Chevron refinery). Just had a major shutdown with some of our plants to repair them so in order to slow the demand on OUR refinery (we supply 60% of the SLC areas fuel) we hiked the price of our gasoline a little bit. Should come back down for a couple of weeks (SHOULD), but then it will go back up cuz we are doing a shut down of the ISOM unit to replace some of the catalyst in the reactors... not sure what effect that will have at the moment of gasoline here.

And then Abliene can be a dime or better cheaper than we are, but Midland, ie The Petroplex, is usually higher.
