Re: Gas Prices?
On an average it is $3.oo a gallon here.
I hope the Winter blend is coming soon [Winter Gasoline In winter, gasoline blends have a higher Reid vapor pressure, meaning they evaporate more easily and allow gasoline to ignite more easily to start your car in cold temperatures. This blend is cheaper to produce, which results in lower gas prices at the pumps from late September through late April.]

Re: Gas Prices?
Actually it’s supply and demand. Stupid uncle Brandon cut our US production and made new drilling on fed land more difficult. Once again making us dependent on the Saudi’s when we have all the crude and natural gas we could ever need right under our feet here in the US. I work for a smaller producer of about 170 employees in the San Juan NM basin. One plus side for me is we get a lot better bonuses when crude and natural Gas are high. Still sucks filling up everything but my company truck though.$3.50 a gallon here for regular and climbing.

Re: Gas Prices?
Sounds good. I spent a little time (six weeks) in Tennessee a loooooong time ago. Very friendly people there, but a bit more humidity than I care for. Beautiful country, as I recall!

Re: Gas Prices?
I put gas in my son's truck yesterday. Couldn't even say how much it was a gallon, I never looked. I looked Thursday when I filled my Suburban. That's when I found out it had taken a jump up the price ladder. That's all I needed to see. It was the only gas station around and they are all up in the same neighborhood anyway. It sucks but I need gas. I'm feeling a gripping sensation between my legs

Re: Gas Prices?
CA banning sale of new gas powered lawn equipment won’t impact per gallon cost but interesting to note https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...equipment.html

Re: Gas Prices?
I got gas last nite for 2.89 here. I was surprised as the average price for most is 3./3.05 around here. As for Tennessee….nice state, good people but funny weather. At the c10 nats, it would rain one minute and sun would come out the next. But…eating Mexican and drinking beer with getter done along with life advice from grumpy could make for a memorable trip indeed.

Re: Gas Prices?
There’s a good chance I’m headed to Tennessee myself in a few years. My dad is fixing to retire next year and headed from northwest VA to Tennessee. He’s looking at several hundred acre parcels to try and get me and my brothers down there on some land. My wife is actually on board. If nothing else I’m going to build a second house there for when we get the hankerin to get away from NM for a little bit. It will be nice to be back in the true south. I’ve missed it a lot over the last 8-9 years.

Re: Gas Prices?
Gas price here was $2.84 a few minutes ago.
Diesel is $3.12 and climbing. Some stations are already at $3.29.

The state of California is currently assembling a couple emergency gas combustion power plants to help keep the lights on. Go figure.
