Replying to: andre1969 (Jul 06, 2009 5:47 am) 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.

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.

Replying to: jae5 (Jul 06, 2009 9:25 am) 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. Replies to this message: lemko (Jul 06, 2009 11:41 am) andre1969 (Jul 06, 2009 5:03 pm)

Replying to: oldfarmer50 (Jul 06, 2009 9:48 am) 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.

Replying to: andre1969 (Jul 06, 2009 10:01 am) Which one? The blue one or the beige one, or do you refer to the beige one as a Fifth Avenue? Replies to this message: andre1969 (Jul 06, 2009 5:03 pm)

We've dropped from $2.69 to $2.65 to $2.63 over the last few days in the face of 4th of July and the Central PA Festival of the Arts, which miraculously always seem to coincide with price increases as large numbers of folks flock to State College   Supply and demand? Not even close

Replying to: explorerx4 (Jul 06, 2009 3:18 pm) Wow, small world. Dillsburg PA is where I've been stopping off to top off when I go to Carlisle. I'll hit the Shell down here, and then hit the Getty at the intersection of Route 15 and 74 which branches off to Carlisle. That stretch is almost pure highway, with the exception of a few traffic lights down here, before I get to the B-W parkway, a stretch of 32 that has two or three traffic lights, but usually only the one at I-70 catches me, and then the few in Dillsburg.
