I wonder how one gives them 9/10 of a cent. 

Subf,  your tax must be higher then PA tax.   I am assuming that was 87 octane self serve.



I should have written that I paid $4.42 and 9/10ths of a cent per gallon.

Yes, it was 87 octane, self-serve.

Hello Marini

Its 3.77 / gallon here on average. It goes up slower here and comes down slower too, for whatever reason

I thought it was VERY premature to start celebrating the price of gas going down, and I was right!
It is going back up, and may soon hit $5 a gallon by Memorial Day.

Gas prices seem to be mixed across the nation, the prices of the gas stations that I pass on a daily basis, seem to continue to creep up every night.

Nationally, the average price of a gallon of gas is now $4.00 a gallon.

CBS News- Gas Prices Nationally $4 a gallon

^5 on that Hill, the price of gas is on a rollarcoaster, the only thing we can be sure of is it will probably take a LONG time before the price goes down and consistently stays down.

$4-$5 for a gallon of gas is probably going to be our new reality for a long time.

Last night, one station dropped their prices 4 cents/gallon, the other one raised it 13 cents.

WTF?

There is a chain of grocery stores in northeast Ohio and western Pennsylvania that have their own gas stations and they have a program where you receive a 10 cent discount on gas for every $50 you buy in groceries.

When fuel prices spike they usually bump it up to 20 cents.

But it applies to everything they sell there and they have a large selection of gift cards for Home Depot, Best Buy, Sears, etc.

So if you are making a major purchase from any of those places you can buy the gift card and get free gas in the process.

The discount applies to 30 gallons at one time so everyone just brings extra five-gallon gas containers.

It's an amazing thing to be able to fill up for free.  And their prices are competitive with other grocery chains in the area.

I think Lucy posted something last night about it going up today. I can't remember which thread though. (thanks for the head up there) I filled up last night, but forgot to look today to see where it was at.
