gas prices?? - Page 3

i can't write what i'm thinking, let's just leave it at that . . . .

Saw a Diamond Shamrock near McAllen, TX selling regular for $1.90. I thought that was low until I was another gas station selling for $1.84!

Wow!!! Thats real good. I remember about 4-5 years ago it was around $.99 for reg. The Low around here is around $2.34.

ok, you can stop now. i filled up for 2.58 today, which is great around here. problem is, it wasn't around here, it was in Carson City, NV and I used half of what i bought gettin' home. still not enough to make me wanna move though . . . .

are the texas prices expected to spread at all?

I sure hope so!!

paid through the nose again today, but had to share my experience. as i'm waiting to hit the pump shutoff at $65, the kid on the pump on the back of mine comes back to his car, yakkin' on the phone, gets in mommy's new 2 seater beemer convertible (top down) and pulls out. I dive for cover as the hose snaps apart at the quick disconnect, with the big steel connector slammin' into mommies beemer. i dust myself off and watch as he comes back to pull the hose out of his car and lay it next to the pump, then get back in the car and drive off. that's a first for me, i've had people tell me they've done it, but i've never seen it. i've seen Motorhead live, and now this. if i were to die tomorrow, i can say i've seen everything i ever wanted to see.

and now back to your regularly scheduled program.

what a f'ing moron...i would have given his tags to the store.

That's why I sometimes wish I had a driving camera in my car! I'd make a lot of dough sending these videos to America's funniest videos! Gotta give this nitwit credit, though,for coming back and returning the hose. LOL!!

i'd be curious to know what mommy said about the scratch that has to be on the trunk. that hose really flew, lucky it didn't crack him in the back of the head. although, that would have been hilarious, as long as it didn't kill him.

but sometimes you just have to let natural selection take its turn...

Wow, I've never seen that!!. Good thing the hose didn't fling back and hit your H2. I would have tore him a new A$$ hole. People just cant put down the cell phone for than 2 minutes, drives me crazy!!!

the quick connect is at the top of the pump, so all the hose went with him, and the pump was between us, so i was pretty safe. i worked for a wireless phone company for 17 years, up 'til last month, and even i hate seeing people yakkin' on 'em in their cars. of course, it's no different than applying makeup, reading the paper or yellin' at the kids in the back.

He also didn't heed the advice on many of the pumps not to use a cell phone while gassing up due to possible static sparks! That would've put you in danger too.

that's nothing but an urban legend, it's never happened and been proven to be false. you'd have to rub it on carpet to get enough static to create a spark. more likely that dropping your keys would have a bigger chance of starting a fire.

unles your phone was junk, and somehow had a short..

on a side note, i was gas for 2.14 yesterday

Today in Laredo: $1.96 and dropping...

its holding around 2.15ish here...is it usually cheaper in tx?

The low around here is 2.09. But still see 2.29 - 2.39 in some stations.

my truck is on the road for the winter, and my car is covered for the year, so its low test for me in the mean while...

Finally down to $1.86!

Wow!! I'm jealous just paid $2.08 here. Not bad and slowly heading down.

we are officially down under 2 a gallow for low grade.

We just dropped below $2.00 also. I'm actually a it surprised to see it come down below $2.00. I wonder how low it will go and how long before we go back over $2.00. I just think that times are changeing , but we will see.

i was talking about that with my dad. he lives in PA, and i live about 5 hours away in detroit, and as the prices here have gone pretty stable around 2.00 even, they have gone down below 2 consistantly in PA.
