Prices stay below $4 by imidazol97

We're so lucky that our prices haven't broken the $4 barrier yet. Marathon/Speedway have kept them at $3.999. Amazing all the gas stations decided that $3.999 was the right price during the same day for miles around; isn't it amazing how they pick the same price without talking to each other or getting a fax or phone call from "the distributor" about the new chosen price?
 
Had to make a 70 mile one way drive to a funeral viewing last evening. I'm very happy with the 33.8 mpg including 4-5 miles of small town stoplight traffic. This was 55-60 on rural slightly rolling glacier plains Ohio highway.

Boise bumped RUG up to $3.79 at the name brand stations. Only a 4 cent jump this time instead of the usual six cent one.
 
$ 3.79 regular
$ 3.91 mid grade
$ 4.01 premium
$ 4.65 diesel

I filled up this AM with regular at a Shell station for $3.979. It came within pennies of breaking $50 total, which would be a first for me.
 
Another Shell station just a 1/2 mile down the road was at $4.099. They always seem to be at least $0.10 higher than their sister station. I don't know why anyone would buy gas there. Maybe it's because they also sell pizza.

I was thinking a few weeks ago that instead of buying a new gas lawn mower when I bought my house I should have bought an electric lawn mower. It takes me less then 30 minutes to mow my front lawn and I don't really have a back lawn. A little electric mower would handle that size just fine and cost me almost nothing over the course of a season to run.
 
My typical electric bill in the summer is between 40 and 60 dollars a month so recharging a mower once a week wouldn't change that hardly at all.
 
Prices finally broke the 4.00 dollar a gallon mark late last week after holding at 3.99 for almost two weeks. Also one of the gulf stations on my commute yesterday ran out of gas. They are back up and running today but yesterday morning they were out.

Had an electric mower until it quit. Replaced it with a gas mower. The electric mower used no gas, but whatever was saved on fuel was spent replacing the extension cords I accidently ran over.

I paid about as close to 4 bucks as you can get without going over it...$3.999 for 89 octane at the local Shell. 87 octane was $3.959 and 93 was $4.099.
 
Oddly, the Citgo up the street was at "only" $3.859 for 87, but 89 was $4.099 and 93 was $4.199. Usually Citgo's cheaper across the board, but it seems like they're always quicker to raise their prices before the Shell does.

Back in the early '60s, my best friend's dad was the district manager for Pacific Power & Light. Perhaps because of his job, he owned an electric mower.
 
I remember that the mower handle would flip from back to front, so that you could push it either direction. The power cord attached to one side of the handle. He would work his way across the yard, away from the power outlet, with the cord always safely off to the side.

Is Citgo the brand from Argentina? Chavez? I think I heard they are changing the name because of consumer resistance to buying gas from their brand name.
