I was on my way to work this morning and thought I had to readjust my sight when I saw the sign - $3.59 for Gas on Hampton Avenue near the Berthold.  Huh?? It's was $3.69 just the other day at the same station!

Hallejuah! Pass the pump!
Who ever thought we'd be happy for $3.59 gas? I remember when gas was $2.00 and I thought the world was coming to an end, but now...oh I'm going to treat my car -- Regular Unleaded PLUS~~  Yes.. Midgrade~!
My car can take regular unleaded, but the manual suggests premium for the "high performance engine."  Well that when out the door when we got to $2.50 a gallon.

Since gas prices have dropped significantly in the last week, I filled 'er up!  Like a bandit!
Now, I'm thinking of taking a short trip up the road this weekend to see some friends. That's right, ACTUALLY leaving town again...what a concept, right?
Anybody else taking advantage of the lower prices?
By the way, if you don't know where to find them, just remember, we've got a gas tracker page right "er :  myFOXstl.com Gas Tracker

i wonder what compression ratio is your engine running for them to suggest using mid grade gas? maybe you can adjust the timing a little to run on regular all of the time.
