I want Diesel to go back to being less than Gas, weren't those the day's. Paid 3.59 for the midgrade stuff yesterday on my way to Casper for a Seminar and it is 20 cents cheaper there. It seems to me that Riverton has some of the higher prices in Wyoming. I can't complain too much though because I don't drive my personal diesel much at all, and the company pays for my gas in my work truck 08 F250 crew cab XLT V10

We have a 94 Honda Accord and it gets really good gas mileage....

I prefer driving our 83 GMC Diesel Dually, but can't afford to anymore

So we stick with our Honda pretty much most of the time....

But in the winter we are more dependent on the truck... cause of the mud/all terrain tires plus 4 wheel drive..

Prices in this part of PA are unreal !!! I went to town on Tuesday and the mini-mart which seems to always have their prices higher than anyone else was 3.59 and today it was 3.79 - 20 cents in 2 days, come on ! Mother said that she heard (doesn't remember which TV news station) that it will probably hit $5.00 before it's all done. I hope not

It's already closer to $4 here in Southern California -- and they were talking about it hitting $7 a gallon on the news last night.

I think we had better get used to it. It doesn't look like it is going down anytime soon.

Going to drive that 4 wheeler for ever. I get 37 miles to the gallon, truck gets 12. I have some good tires, get me anywhere. But fuel is eating me up.

I get low to mid 20s in town with the Pontiac Grand Prix and 27 to 33 mpg range on the highway (depending on the wind and driving 70 mph vs. 75-80 mph on the interstate). I have been gong have been going a little slower on the interstate to get better mileage. Gas in Sioux Falls area is $3.45 for Super Unleaded with E10 (89 Octane) and high $3.50's for regular unleaded (87 Octane).

I know with my 07 Ford Diesel I got it tweaked a little bit and I will get about 22mpg doing 65-70 and 17-18mpg doing 80-80mph on the interstate. When I was in Oregon on the coast I was getting 26mpg doing around 55mph while sight seeing. I can't really complain about the truck too much especially since it is lifted and not even really broken in.

I presently pay $5.30 a gallon here in Alaska. I'm moving to Montana next week and will be as happy as a kid in a candy store to pay less than $4.00 a gallon.

I don't blame ya... Do you think we will see gas go to $4.00 in Sheridan?

Our truck gets similar gas mileage and it is geared so low, if you go over 55mph you get in the single digits... boy is it a long drive to Billings, at 55mp lol...
We went in the winter a couple times before Diesel skyrocketed to over $4.00.

One of these years are are going to replace the rear axle(I think it is called) to get better gas mileage.
