I need to fill up... probably shouldn't have waited until Memorial Day. I'm afraid to look... I think I saw $4.49 yesterday.

Price per gallon was so high, they didn't bother posting #'s.


I just say park the car in the garage and spend the $4.50 on a six-pack.

I can't believe the rate that the price of gas is going, so high and so fast.

next time gas dips below $3, I'm stocking up - I've got room for it in the basement

I figure I'll stock up using 55 gallon drums

If I buy 20 of these drums, I should be set for the entire year

LOL, i was bored so i did a little calc for you.

being conservative on both ends for max result

price now = 4.50/gal
price then = 3.00/gal

savings /gal = 1.50

savings x #gal in drum x # of drums = 1.5*20*55 = 1650

#drums x cost of drum = 20*80 = 1600

overall savings = $50

DO IT DO IT!!!

Oh, I forgot to mention I will also re-sell gasoline at a higher price and I get to keep the drums
