And I was surprised. Last I looked (10? days ago?), gas was $3.99.
Today it was $3.81, an eighteen cent drop.

We're sitting at $3.69 in most places, although there is a rogue Sunoco sitting at $3.93 for some odd reason. Even odder, you see people at the pumps there. Sort of makes you wonder what ELSE is going on there

Both our Shell and Mobil stations kicked up to $4.39 this last week. They got as low as $4.29. I got 3 gallons of diesel for my Kubota, $4.69 per. Premium was $4.55 and midgrade $4.49. Premium seems to be the best bargain these days.

and needed petrol for the truck. $3.70 for 87 octane at usual place. Funny, after driving the hybrid over there and come back here the truck felt to have a lot more power
- but then after a couple days power level returned to normal.

Prices leaking down to $3.63 here... and as an added bonus, ethanol has disappeared from a couple of stations and my mixed driving MPG has jumped from 30-31 up to 33-34.
The nasty stuff did finally manage to kill the gaskets on my one lawnmower though.

#9784 of 10145 Down two cents for the holiday

Regular is down to $3.79 here. Not driving for the holiday, but it's unusual to see the pump price fall on the start of summer driving season.

Now of course I haven't bought any gas for over two months (as has been noted earlier) but when my wife went down to the Social Security office to try and straighten a few things out (they were closed due to a water leak; she's still steaming) I told her if she needed gas there was a cheap Sunoco just up the road. She took me up on that and reported $3.51 for regular.
