I didn't drive much until about college because my b/fs always drove me around in high school. teehee I vaguely recall prices around $.85 (87 octane). Kim 1995 Contour GL Needs less "needs more"

My propane after I built my house in 2000 was .79/gal, it is now locked in @ 2.79/gal...400/gal tank, you do the math. My butt hurts. We were discussing the prices @ the pub the other day, they just raised drink prices due to some tax increases. regular...2.79/gal midgrade...2.89/gal premium...2.99/gal top shelf...3.50/1 oz. I offered for all my friends to meet me at the local gas station & I'd buy everyone a gallon of premium...much cheaper than shots 1999 Sportage 4x4...don't go there, it was free ....______o_o .../_l l__\____\ ..\|--l l__----[]\\|/[] .....................oo =( )_)----( )_)--)_)
