LMAO!!!! Right now, I live in the Country Club Estates right next door to the Harlingen Country Club. Wish I could hurry and get the heck away from being stuck down here in you know what.

seems the good times are already over. 93 jumped 2.249 to 2.289 yesterday morning then up to 2.349 last night and isn't letting up. supposed to keep going up to fill certain persons pockets. more reason to only need 4 gallons of gas to fill up

pretty much!! its gonna go back up for the summer seasons i bet..the usualy traveling and whatnot...i can't believe gas was up 4.00+ to 4.50/gallon last year alone...now it seems like its a bargain at 2.XX lol..

doesnt seem to phase people anymore of the price jump of less than 2.00 a couple of years ago. add to the bad economy, its only gonna get bad, again, maybe worse this year for people with tight wallets

Gas in Harlingen, TX now runs $2.16/$2.26 & $2.36. I bet it will just keep going up again. Heck. No one wants to drive anywhere on vacations these days.

2.389 for 93 here this morning, they're not wasting any time raising it and yea the summer tourism market is going to be killed by the prices. remember when gas in lawton, fort sill and OKC was well under 1.00 back in the late 80s early 90s (middle school/early high era for me)

****! I remember the shock of having the price of gas skyrocket to 55 cents back during the Arab Oil Embargo. Talk about old....

have been watching barrel prices and economic news and there hasn't been anythin dramatic enough to justify the huge increase of prices. it's simply greed and lack of any regulation other than how much they want to increase profits this quarter. such BS
