Cool site. 

 

In the desert on the way to Laughlin, we paid over $5/gal for premium.  They knew they were the only fueling station for a long ways.

Holy Moly!

I saw diesel for $4.55 a gal today, and almost spit coffee on the windshield.

No wonder food prices are shooting up.

Great link by the way, thanks.

The summer of 2006 I paid $4.25 a gallon for high test in Bridgeport, CA. I figured it was like around my area where the stations on the main drag have high prices for tourists and if I wanted to drive around for local one I could have gotten a lower price. It's only 4 gallons and not worth the waste of time to search.
It would be a shame not to ride your $20,000 bike because it cost $24 when empty. Sure gas was 32.9 a gal when I was a teenager but I only made a dollar an hour, did not have a $100/mon cable and cellphone bill and my barber only drove his brand new Studebaker on Sundays. Oh we had to heat water on the stove to wash and bath. So to me those weren't the "good old days".

I would bet you also had to walk to school barefoot in the snow and it was up hill both ways! Just bringing back memories of the "old" yahoo site! Yes... those were the days!
Oh and is there anyone you know who would drive 20 miles out of their way just because they could save .02 a gallon on gas?

You don't drive 20 miles out of the way just to save .02, I thought the drive was part of the equation. For premium is around $3.60/gal.
No, I had to go through 20 foot ant hills and three different hog farms, that right there is the trenches. Then I had to pick up dead, green chickens, that is if the leg didn't separate before you got it into the bucket, before I could even go to school. You other guys had it easy.

Either way get yo some Petro, before you run out.
