Cheap gas

I went to fill up my sedan on Monday at the Chevron station located at Highway 6 and Old Richmond Road in Sugar Land. Every pump was occupied, while the Valero station across the street was empty. When I got the the pump, I realized why! Premium 93 octane was selling for $3.88.9 Valero was selling premium for $4.15 Hehe, so I filled up for just over $60

cato, the Houston area will always have cheaper gas prices in the U.S. I saw regular gas going for $3.91 today and that was at Texaco. The Shell station, across the street from where I live, is selling regular for $3.93 (regular). My lil Mazda 3s GT does not need premium.

The Shell station, by where I live, is charging $3.93/$4.06/$4.19 a gallon. There is a Texaco station, in route to ITT, that charges about $.03 cheaper, per gallon, and I will have to gather their rates next time I go to class.

Well, moving to SA and going to school full time, making A's in all three classes thank you, I wish to have a dependable car since I do not like dealing with Gunn Infiniti. Too bad there is not a 2nd Infiniti dealership here in SA.

Where on 2920? Towards the spring area, tomball area or the hockley area?

I can plan to get gas out by spring when I'm there next weekend if it's by 45.

Spring area, you exit 45 onto 2920 and go down towards kuykendahl. Its an old Mobil station and if your coming from 45 it will be on your left

Prices dropping like a rock in the Houston area now! The Chevron at Hwy 6 and Old Richmond continues to drop prices. Regular is now at $3.60
They don't even advertise Plus or Premium prices on their sign. I guess they are trying to prevent a stampede? The Valero next door looks to be empty all the time,
their prices being .20 higher across the board.

The gas station out by me pulled a nice move. They set the regular to 3.79 and I thought "Wow, they're not trying to gouge everyone on pricing!" so I pulled in and, hey, go figure, all they have is premium at 4.19.
