I support the truckers completely... My Dad owned a small trucking company for nearly 40 years in Tennessee... If the trucking companies go under, you will definitely need to know how to farm, for real...
 
RUG - $3.75/Gal: Chattanooga, TN
 
RUG in other parts of TN as high as $3.90/Gal

Rediscovered an old truth over the weekend - if I ever move to Connecticut I'll have to live very near the border. Their gas prices are nuts! RUG was going for $4.15 per gallon - a full quarter more than either New York or Massachusetts. Those two states are still a dime more than New Jersey.
 
Normally when I head up that way I buy gas at the last stop in New Jersey and don't need gas again until I'm in New Hampshire where there's more cheap gas. I go to stop at that station and it's one of those Lukoil stations that got closed up from the contaminated gas and not opening any time real soon. Fortunately I had enough to get me well past Connecticut.
 
I'm assuming that Connecticut has a high gas tax. It seems the only logical variable.

connecticut gas tax was the second highest, last time i checked.
in addition, there is probably a distribution tax, storage tax, gas pump usage tax, etc...
for some reason, my explorer likes BP gas. it even keeps on running when the DTE reads zero for a few miles. i can't get it locally, as far as i know.

fezo: Do you live in New Hampshire, sir? My son, lives with my ex on Long Island, NY, so I know it is very expensive up in the Northeast USA...
 
Gas Price Update: RUG - $3.74/Gal (Chattanooga, TN - BP in Hixson)... Hixson would be like what Brooklyn is to NYC... only a heck of a lot smaller... lol.

No, I'm down at the Jersey shore. I've got friends up in Lee, NH. More often than not I'm at their Memorial Day party.
 
I could easily get talked into living in New England even though I would really like warmer weather. Where can I find a place that looks like Maine but feels like Florida?....

Hey now, I bought a couple of canoe in Hixson at the old Canoeist Headquarters before those Rock Creek yuppies bought them out.
 
oops, playing old home week again -
 
Here's one way to avoid the high cost of filling up:
 
"Police suspect the thief parked the vehicle over storage tanks, opened a trap door veiled by rubber flaps that hang to the ground and began sucking out the fuel with a make-shift tank hidden in the trailer. The vacuum was powered by the truck's engine, which masked the sound of the operation"
 
Tricked-out rig allows diesel thief to pump his ride

on my work route range from:
 
87 octane: $4.069 to $4.159
89 octane: $4.199 to $4.259
92 octane: $4.289 to $4.499
E85: $3.699 (Gas City)
Diesel: $4.999 (Gas City)
 
The city is much higher, especially down-town Chi. Glad I'm not in Detroit area where people are puncturing gas tanks to steal fuel. This is getting ridiculous!!

If the guy were to fill the 5000 gallon tank that trailer would be close to 40,000 lbs. I wonder if he ever broke any axles or popped a tire. I doubt that trailer is rated for more than 20,000 lbs. That was a fad a few years ago when gas was high priced. I remember a VW microbus set up like that with a trap door.

RUG has gone up overnight by 8 cents at the BP and Mobil/Exxon on Hixson Pike in Hixson, TN..
 
RUG for those 2 outlets: $3.82/GAL
Conoco, Citgo: $3.76/GAL
 
I have a BP card that gives me 5% back on my gas purchases, so I am paying $3.82/GAL... I do anticipate the other stations to follow suit and go to $3.82... I will let you guys know... I did hear on the news that the national average for RUG is now $3.95/GAL...
