    Wasn't the whole theory that Ahmadinejad would bring about Armageddon on August 22nd?

    Must have missed it, I didn't watch a lot of TV this past week...

    when i drove by a few days ago, i thought the richmond/chimney rock prices were insane at about $3.10. i guess i was right b/c according to that website, it's basically the highest in town.

    i had been needing to fill up recently and everything around me (45 at pierce/dallas) was like 2.79, 2.83 and i just figured that's what it was. then i went to my parents house this weekend and everything was about 2.59. luckily i waited to fill up until then. they're not too far from kuykendahl/spring-cypress, which is apparently cheapest in the city at 2.46, but it wouldn't really be worth the extra 3 mile drive each direction.

    even though i'm only saving $2 or $3 on every fill up, it still feels nice to be paying significantly less than just a few weeks ago. ahh for the days when it was actually sub-90 cents for a while (i swear i remember 0.83 just outside the neighborhood within the last 6 or 7 years).

    Both the Sam's Club and CostCo along I-10 by the Beltway are at $2.57.

    I had noticed the trend down a week or so ago but hadn't really noticed how low (relatively speaking) the prices had fallen, seeing as how I don't go anywhere.

    Just went for a fill up and the petrol (or gas as you guys call it, "Gas' is what comes out your ass when you've eaten baked beans! :) ) was down 13 cents a litre since last week to $1.28. Lowest in a long, long time.

    and it looks like the hurricane won't march across the Gulf, shutting down offshore facilities. that's a good thing for prices, too. if this is the only Gulf hurricane we end up with this year, that would be a very, very good thing.

    Don't worry, I bet it drops more tomorrow.

    Here is the link for the gas stations.

    That station with 1.99 is at Beltway and Spencer.

    Paid 2.29 yesterday at Wal-Mart, but I'm in Waco...

    I don't understand why there's a price variance around the state...
