Default Oil Prices!

As if it hasn't been bad enough, we hit $3.20 a gallon yesterday. I know we are usually a bit behind on prices here because we have a stock pile and it takes a while for us to get to the new shipments at the higher cost.

So, what are your local prices at?

ft worth area....$3.04. i did see shell station today at $3.09. but they are always higher.

i have never been one to just drive around wasting gas, but i can say i am even more aware of planning my errands. my car is wayyyyyyy smaller than my husbands ( go figure..i drive all the kids around and do all the shopping and he has just him ) so i do all the shopping for our businisses supplies too. it has cut out gas bill way down.

$9.89 Bz per gallon (which is almost $5 US)

as you can imagine, we don't *drive* much, consolidate errands, etc.

I just filled up this morning and the price was $3.07 last night and today it was $3.09. I fill up at half a tank but since I'm pretty much homebound I can get just about a month or more out of driving with half a tank in my Ford Taurus.

Michael filled my car last night and I believe he paid $3.22/gal for regular at Costco. I don't believe prices were ever this high even after Hurricane Katrina (I may be wrong).

I'm hearing we'll be at $4 or more by Memorial Day! Where's that holy sheep sign!!! Costco here is at $3.06...best price in town. Craig...I do the same thing. Since I home school, I drive only to the store and back. Who can afford to buy anything but food right now? It's a darn shame!
