Re: Gasoline woes
Good one, punk. It sure is gouging. Reg gas in L.A. is around $4.50/gal. Can't wait to use just the golf cart!!

Re: Gasoline woes
Close by to TV, we've found two places where the gas tends to be significantly cheaper than in surrounding areas: two stations on 301 in Belleview, and one on a side road (can't remember the name) maybe a mile off 441 in Leesburg. Would seem counterproductive to travel there specifically to fill up, but if we can plan our errands in certain directions, it could certainly help. We've been up north for the past month, so we can only hope that this info is still accurate....

Re: Gasoline woes
What's aggravating is that the price for gasoline in Europe (in Euro's - not US Dollars), has been pretty constant the last couple of years. So, it's seems like the continuous devaluation of the dollar has more to do with the price than anything else.

Re: Gasoline woes
It's supposedly a supply and demand problem driving up the prices. The European prices should have spiked too even considering the weakness of the dollar. makes you wonder what's really going on. And our leaders continue to do NOTHING and I'm not referring to George who is responsible for all that ails us.
