Here (just south of Blade), the cheapest is Safeway at $2.41, but you can get a 3-cent discount if you're a club card member. (Actually, I think Arco is cheaper than Safeway's regular price, but more than their member price).

Blade,
Did they really vote in that increase? I'd heard a lot about it leading up to the vote, but nothing since. If we get a re-vote, and Dino wins, can he un-do Gregoire's budget? (Please . . . )

Yes indeed, I am an engineer at the Lake. I guess it's not such a "secret city" anymore, is it? How do you know about us, do you have Navy ties as well?

We are back down to 2.15 for low grade. 2.25 for what I have to run. 89 octane or better.

On the grammatic side. I didn't know Gas Price could own anything:P

Sorry, it's just the English major still rears its head.

We may have it less, but I work as a contractor and a pastor. Right now I'm spending around 45.00 per day on fuel, and that is just for my truck. That does not include other vehicles, implements, tools, generators, etc. If this holds up, fuel prices, just wait until it hits the shelves at stores. Most transportation companies are eating the price difference right now due to presigned contracts for delivery. (I'm already charged a 'fuel surcharge' on most lumber now. My crew rates are having to go up next week. BTW, my farming kin are really getting nailed. Right in the busiest part of the year diesel kabooms up the chart. )It will be like the truckers' strike of the past before this is over.

That is great.

In NH there are some gas stations (usually right off the highway) that are 2.23, but if you drive up the road for a minute there are many around 2.05.
