Our prices have risen to $2.60 since last weekend by $.16 based on average price for all area stations per daytongasprices.com. The prices at the low competitive area have risen from $2.32 to $2.60, a more drastic swing than the average shows. BUT I was wrong last week when I predicted since prices didn't rise last week on Thursday they would rise this week (typically Tuesday) and I thought we'd go for the $2.99 ceiling. Didn't happen. Of course, I'm glad to have been wrong--lots cheaper.

Sunoco at Rising Sun & Lonshore in NE Philly: RUG = $2.61 down 2 cents. Ultra = $2.89 down 4 cents. |

another slight drop, 87 and 93 octane at the local Shell are down to $2.579 and $2.879, respectively. And with the Mopar show in Carlisle coming up this weekend, I hope these prices stay (relatively) low! Last year around this time, I filled my NYer up with 93 octane at $4.319 per gallon. And when I got off the main road on my way to Carlisle, I stopped and topped off because I found what I thought was "cheap" gas, at "only" $4.099 per gallon.

| Got a 4th of July greeting from a friend that moved back in the Austin area. Said he filled his Lincoln for $2.31 per gallon. Does not miss CA prices or politics. | |

Gas took another drop in South Central PA from $2.59 to a range of $2.49-$2.55. I guess the speculators jumped the gun in trying to get oil back up over $70. they'll have to wait until next year. |

Prices dropped from about $2.75 for RUG down to $2.59 in one week. Looks like I may be right about my prediction. Oil took a big hit this morning, down another $2.50/bbl. I guess this time around the speculators couldn't find any moms & pops to pass their overinflated options on to. Good. Let them choke on 'em.

Replying to: jae5 (Jul 06, 2009 9:25 am) Oh, and the rubber knob came off of the passenger side window crank. Gotta love that GM quality.  As for fuel economy, on the leg up, which was almost pure highway, and keeping around 60-65 mph for the most part, I think I got around 16.8 mpg. But overall, once you factor in local driving, plus I decided to take a scenic route back home that took us over a steep ridge and around some twisty back roads, plus higher highway speed, more like 70-75 mph on the way home, I think my overall average on that trip was more like 13.5 mpg.  I'll be curious to see how my '79 NYer does this weekend, on the same trip. On the leg where my '67 Catalina got 16.8, the NYer managed around 22 mpg last year! I suspect, though, that maybe the gas pump just shut off early. I didn't try to top it off, but rather just stopped when it shut off.
