I filled the Sequoia today at Costco. RUG $2.75 down 10 cents from last week. Most stations still at the peak of $2.89-$3.05. I would expect them to fall back after this weekend.

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.

We're seeing the same here, prices actually dipped a little, in the $2.73 range. Actually found a Thornton's station at $2.66 by home so filled the Olds up - it's been cool the past few days so having been running ok on the 87 octane.
 
How'd the trip to Carlisle go?

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.

Know this is off-topic but what is becoming of the IOU fiasco? With the budgets short-falls in just about every state was wondering how it was going to effect fuel prices, specifically fuel taxes. Our situation isn't being helped with "Da Mayor" trying to get the Olympics here.

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.

The GM show in Carlisle was fun, with two minor exceptions. A heavy rain came through that Friday afternoon, and I discovered the Catalina leaks. If I had just sat on the showfield and waited it out, I probably would have been better off, but instead I tried driving to the hotel, and it leaked where the roof joins the top of the windshield. We also found a bit of water in the trunk.
 
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.

Just filled my PU truck for the first time since April. Since last Thursday Costco went from $2.75 down to $2.59. The other stations are at $2.79 still. People seem to be creatures of habit. No matter how much the station charges they use the same one. My local Shell is still at $2.99 this morning. That 5% discount with their CC does not make it competitive. I get 3% from Costco using AMEX card.
