The wholesale price for unleaded gas is at it's lowest level since March 1st and almost 30 cents off it's high in early April.
Has anyone seen a proportionate drop at the pumps? I haven't. :evil: :evil: :evil:

Remember when the gas filler tube was behind the license plate? Car manufacturers quite doing this because the symbolism was too blatant.

Wouldn't you consider market-wide price gouging to be a conspiracy? I'm not saying that's what's happening, I'm just asking. That would be a "conspiracy," correct?
Martha... we ain't at three bucks, yet. But you still have over a month to go. :lol:

Doesn't it usually take a week or so for new prices to show up at the pump?

Not a conspiracy. It's standard practice, done in plain site.
There may be a wink and a nod, but I doubt there's any collusion going on.

...for now I need da pig...last week I had 12 ..count em...12 teenage girls and a CD player maxed for carpool. She sits most of the week and heads out on road trips over the weekend with 6-8 on board typically. So I don't have a problem with the pig.
Arret...that would be ONE vehicle...43 gallon tank...if you want to own a Suburban you have to go with the big tank (spare tire inside truck)...you don't worry about MPG...you look at HPG...I can go 10-10 1/2" hours on a full tank...
Love
MA Pig

So, in a couple of years that will cost you about $21 per hour of driving.
I think I'll stick with my little 50mpg car.

I don't know if I should say "I'm sorry" or "You're 'da' man!". I think I'll go with the latter since I am a dirty "old" man. :twisted:

That's because in Kentucky, by law, you only need to take a bath once a year. (I love that law.)
