Man, those are high prices. Down here in Mexico it just isn't something we think too much about, as it is Federaly run and prices fixed. The price at the pump 3 days ago was 6.83 pesos per liter. That all computes out at current dollar exchage to roughly 2.46 per Gal. When I got here over a year ago it was pretty stable at 5.8 pesos per liter. Bad part is, sometimes it is so bad you couldn't lite it with a blow torch.

Saludos

1.79 regular
1.89 mid grade

Same same as Tom, we live close to the same neighborhood.
Its good to see the prices elsewhere are drawing close though finally.

When I was in Louisiana 2 weeks ago it was $1.58/gal and everybody was complaining like I don't know.
$1.58 per gallon?? Those were the good old days for us, like from the days Before Bush.

James,

Turning back a few cogs during the old days (mid-50's) gas was 23 cents a gallon and bulk oil was 15 cents a quart. I know I had an old beater that when I pulled in I'd fill the oil and check the gas. Now those were the days.

Just paid $ 2.09 for premium just outside Memphis. I am sure it is higher in town at some places.

It is called monoplized price gouging....

Been changes since I posted on this thread.


2.01.9 regular
2.12.9 mid grade
2.22.9 premium

Why the .9 cents....why don't they just round it off for crying out loud.
