Our regular is $4.80/usgal......and thats a bigger dollar ($1.00Cdn = $102usd)

Most of the difference is in taxes. ..........oh, and government debt numbers.

The summer of 08 or was it 09 ? gas was $4.99, diesel was $5.05 back east in southwestern PA.
My cousin is a fuel hauler owner/operator. Fuel got up over $5.25 in some of the regions he goes to. He almost gave his truck back to the finance company. :shock:

Well. Rhonda and I are out. Gasoline is at $4.09 here in Crescent City, Ca. We just cant justify spending that type of money for the trip... With another month left before MATS...We don't expect for the gas stations to give us any breaks on costs...

Unless things change for the good in the very near future.... I can hope, but, not depending on it!

Don't feel bad. Talked to my cousin yesterday, he is on his last trip. He starts a real job next week and his truck is for sale. :shock:

I suppose I could go north 25 miles and fill up a truckload of 5 Gallon gas cans in the back of my 1994 GMC Ext Cab K1500...AND SAVE 60 CENTS A GALLON!!!!!!

Since my truck gets about 12-14 towing on average....or.... maybe I could borrow my friends 2006 Dodge Mega Cab 5.9 Turbo Diesel 3500... we did a 220 mile trip yesterday of a lot of turns hills...etc...lot of variables... None the less...we averaged 22 miles a gallon....( I want that truck )

Due to a variety of reasons, Debbie and myself are out. If anybody is interested in a pair of participant wrist bands, $100 and they are all yours.

These wrist bands are good for the weekend, and the Saturday night concert.

PM for more details.

OK, the tickets have been sold. Everybody have a save and fun time.

Yep. Anything I need to do? Call or anything?

If I can find an open trailer to borrow, I'll haul down that way. Otherwise the big trailer will come down with us. Lots of fuel to pull that thing. :shock:

Been 3 times now...I will truly miss it this yr!!! After Docs touches to the head...I am feeling pretty good about looking into the 13's for sure...

Any guess Doc?
