I was on Harlem in Chicago today and saw regular at $3.60, which was cheaper than the $3.69 45 miles west by me... Although I think Elburn is an enigma, at the least the BP on the corner of 47 and 38 is. The Mobil less than a mile away had premium at $3.99, while they're sitting at $4.43... Do they actually expect to sell at that price?

saw it at 2.69 here in oklahoma city today. still pissed off that it's that high. i just bought a 89 CRX HF last week. gets 45/60mpg city/highway. hate having to drive something like that but for $350, i just couldn't pass it up. it's gonna save me so much cash and mileage on the Z28 too. i figured it'd be better to look gay driving that abomination than to get my *** pounded at the pump by a gang of middle easterners every day.

There was a story on PBS, a few weeks ago. Big cities have to use a low pollution blend which costs more.
So even when gas goes down, we still get pounded if you go near any big city.
The guys out in the middle of no where pay less tax's & get a cheaper blend.
Plus stroger is a complete crooked moron. In my opinion.

Shoot whole sale gas yesterday fell to around 1.85 on the futures markets. The price should still be going down here then the next couple weeks by a good amount.

Says that strogers about 4 1/2 feet tall with a milk dud sitting on top of his shoulders Ahhhhh Chicago officials...wonderful people. Matter of fact... im off to the section to rant....
