(well, $1.52.9, which is effectively $1.53)
Still, I wish I had this rate when I was commuting regularly. This would have cut my costs at least in half.

(5,325 posts)My low fuel light was on and I filled my 18.5 gallon tank. Used a $25 gift card to pay and there's still something like $2.75 left on that card. Wasn't sure I'd ever see something like that at the gas station again in this lifetime.

(5,790 posts)Gas starts rising as the Spring temps set in up north and farming and construction activities take place. It is an upward march that generally climaxes Memorial Day weekend.

(5,790 posts)Last week, midgrade (which is cheaper because it has ethanol here in NE) was as low as 1.39. Now I'm seeing 1.75.
