I'm working on a personal project here and I'm finding during the oil boom in the 1800s to 1900s, it was 40 cents a barrel because there was not enough demand for oil and gas. What happened?!?! ???
We all started driving. ::) ::)
I save about 40 cents a gallon filling up on base.

and THAT, my good man, is why I sold my Ford Expedition, last year...
I had to fill up yesterday (a Taurus) and it was almost $80.00!!!! I had just been w. a jail client so I figured I'd fill it up downtown while I was there before heading out to the Valley and regular was $4.77!!! :o
Wow, that makes me feel a little better. I paid $4.49 per gallon last night, and the station right across the street was charging $4.69 for regular. :P
I gased up today and I payed $53.23. I cried all the way home (JK).
Thanks for the link Tracy. It seems there is a little sting no matter where you are but this makes it a lot easier to choose yer poison.
You can save a little money gassing up at COSTCO as well, just fyi for people.
Yeah, if you want to deal with the lines and pay their annual fee.

Costco was where I filled up. $4.44. Not bad, considering the CRIMINALS down at the Shell station right around the corner from me are charging $4.99!!!

This is true. I think I burn any savings I get at the pump waiting in line. I do know that some Vons stores have gas stations. You can save money if you happen to grocery shop the same day I think (not sure, haven't tried).
