The greater Milwaukee area is typically $2.59/9 for regular, with
diesel a penny more. Premium is 2.75/9.
Comng back from the show at the train museum last Sunday, I found gas
for 2.34/9 just inside of the IL line. The Lark had 1/4 tank showing
when I pulled in and still took $28.00 worth. I don't recall ever
putting that much money in any tank, at one time.

I really think people are in such shock over prices that they just stop
and buy. The idea of competiton and free market, etc, etc. seems to
counter all that the petrolium industry stands for. They have got us
and they know it. Everybody is making huge profits the oil companies,
the middle eastern oil producers and yet the price keeps going up and
up. It violates all that our type of economy was designed to be. So why
shop for lower prices, you gotta have it, supply and demand does not
apply. So people have just given up trying to make the traditional
economic tools work.

Here in Indianapolis on Friday I saw it from $2.45 -$2.60. Diesel was
$2.29. Just about 10 days ago it dipped to $1.99 for one day!!! then
went back to $2.39 a day later!!! GEE I wish gas sales would slow down
like car sales. Employee Gas pricing for everyone!!! I here that dealer
cost for LP gas is around 80 cents a gallon, maybe I should convert the
Commander to run on LP.

There is an angle that can reduce your gasoline cost 8% across the
board if you live in a market "served" by Speedway/SuperAmerica.

Here's how it works: First you apply for (and get) a Speedway/
SuperAmerica Platinum MasterCard. When you use it to buy 'most anything
(including fuel) at a Speedway/
SuperAmerica Gas Station, you get a 4% rebate on your credit card bill.

But DON'T use your S/SA MasterCard to buy gasoline right from the pump.
Instead, go inside and buy one of their prepaid fuel cards. Then, use
that prepaid fuel card at the pump. Those cards are sold at a 4%
discount; a $50 fuel card costs $48.

DO use your Speedway/SuperAmerica MasterCard to pay the $48 you owe
them for the prepaid fuel card. Because that fuel card is a purchase at
a Speedway/SuperAmerica station, that $48 purchase is subject to the 4%
card rebate, too.

Bottom line: If you do it this way, you get a total of 8% off the price
of the gasoline you buy, and you don't even have to pay THAT until the
credit card bill comes due.

8% total discount amounts to 20 cents per gallon on $2.50 gasoline; not
bad.

"All the Above" is no hocus-pocus; I've been buying gasoline at
Speedway like that for many years now, and that's exactly how it works.
(Plus, you can sign up for the Speedy Rewards program in certain
markets and get points toward free merchandise or gasoline discounts.
The pre-paid fuel cards don't count as a purchase toward Speedy
Rewards, but it IS credited as a purchase when you actually use the
card's value to buy something, including gasoline.) BP

Being in an energy related business, we have closed circuit TV, that
gives prices all day long. As of 8/11/2005 barrel oil prices were:
$65.80. A month ago $58.92, while a year ago it was $44.80.

Natural gas prices, per $MMbtu: As of 8/11/2005 $9.30, Month ago
$7.50, Year ago $5.61.

If you heat with natural gas....do the math. <sigh>

I guess I would rather pay the money, than have them ration it, or run
out completely. <groan>

Supposedly the increase in demand from China and India are creating a
shortage in oil supply which in turn is driving up oil prices. What do you
suppose drivers in those two countries are paying for gas? I dread thinking
of my heating oil bills this coming winter.
I just poured the last gas from my last five-gallon can in the Gravely
yesterday and I still have a bunch of mowing to do. I was waiting for the
price to come down before filling the cans again (sigh/sob). I guess I'll
siphon some from the Studebakers <G>.

Pretty slick. Unfortunately I don't have any Speedway/SuperAmericas near
me. However, I do get a modest break on gas by using my Citi Platinum card-
gives me 5% back on gas purchases paid at the pump.

I paid $2.61 for 87 octane unleaded here in the suburban Chicago market.
Don't ask what it costs in Chicago! They are always about .20 higher.

Good idea, Bob. I just picked up an application and they are giving 8 percent
off purchases for the next 60 days.
Tis a good time to get your dog Paxton a card too.
