In Phoenix the price is around 2.00 a gallon. They said it would go down April 1, because they don't have to put this special additive in.

We are giving $1.55 or so for the cheap stuff around here.

BTW if there was such a big shortage, why are the rigs in the Gulf laying people off? Makes you wonder doesn't it.

$1.49 for the cheap stuff in Wichita. That's down from $1.80 a few weeks ago. Glad I'm not on the left coast or in the frozen north.

Cheapest I saw today was $2.01 at an Arco/BP. Wondering what we will be paying for by Memorial Day Weekend, the start of the driving season? Figure we should see $3.00 for premium this year.
