Looks like most stations are hanging at $1.83 but a few majors are down to $1.79. I went back to the Fred Meyers and filled up for $1.69 regular. The Outback got 28.4 mpg on the last tank too (was hoping for over 30 since the last tank was all easy highway).

That is probably about right if you are getting gas tainted with ethanol. I still think there is a big evaporation factor with that E10.

Winter Trip to Texas by larsb

Along I-10 and I-20 from Phoenix to Abilene TX, prices varied widely.
 
Saw as high as $2.29 and as low as $1.66.
 
Diesel was as low as $2.29 at one truck stop, and RUG was $1.95 at the same place - only a 34 cent difference.
 
I already saw one poster say, "I wish I still had my Tahoe."
 
That's not the way we ought to be thinking, people !!!

Thanks, the trip was uneventful and the stay was a lot of fun. My family is as dysfunctional as any other but we hide it well.

Can you use a SUV for a lawn mower?
 
I don't see why not. A few years back, I used my pickup truck to pull an old harrow out of the woods. At least I think that's what the thing is called. Big thing that you hook up behind a tractor to plow up a garden or field. Some of them have discs or spikes, but this one had these sickle-shaped things attached to it. It had been back there probably about 30 years, and it was too big to move by hand. I was about to break ground for my garage, and once that was built, it would have hemmed it in, and made it too hard to get anything back there big enough to pull it out.
 
So if I could use a truck to pull farming implements, I guess it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to attach a mower deck to an SUV.
 
Oh, I noticed the Shell station on my way in to work (Seabrook, Maryland) is down slightly from $1.879 to $1.859 for 87. Looking online, I see the Shell station up in Laurel I've gone to a few times is at $1.639. I paid $1.659 there on Thanksgiving Day.
