Totally OT: Gas prices
juneaux:
$2.89/ gallon and I live in TX (not on the coast where the refineries are located).
CoyotePiper:
Here in Rhode Island 87 octane is $2.93 or so.
I just got back from a 4 week snowboard trip to Wyoming, Colorado, Utah. When I arrived in Denver, (middle of March) gas was around $2.60 a gallon. But, when I crossed the state line into Wyoming it was going for $2.23 a gallon.
Why the nearly $0.40 difference? I know they pump it there in WY, Curt was a roughneck after all. But don't they pump it in CO too? Is it a taxing difference?
BTW, in the Mountain states regular gas is 85 octane not 87. I guess at 6000 ft and more above sea level a car doesn't need 87 octane anymore.

$3.09 for Regular Unleaded here in Boca Raton. WTF? I guess the oil companies just jack the prices up every now and again because... they can. >:(
Phillip Dampier:
It's running around $3.04 a gallon at the pricey Mobil station near my house, so it's probably just around the $3.00 mark here in Rochester. A lot of people are buying gas at the huge mini-marts as well as Wal-Mart, BJ's and Sam's Club trying to save a few cents.
