...more hidden costs as gas mileage drops.

Back to the Lilly Tomlin quote;

"No matter how cynical you become, it's never enough to keep up."

You should all check your MPG.

Refiners have an infinite bag of tricks to stretch & fluff up each gallon of gas at will.

So not only are you paying more for gas your getting less of it(in terms of BTU value).

Kinda like when a pound of coffee became 13oz..

"3:33 Futures Movers: Oil falls, holds above $66; gasoline ends with 2% loss"

A little touch of relief news from BigCharts.MarketWatch.com owned by Dow Jones.

Be careful of that Lilly Tomlin and her cynicism! Skepticism is ok, but cynicism means one has given up hope!! I ain't Jesse Jackson, fer sure, but for goodness sake... "KEEP HOPE ALIVE!!!"

I just filled up at Sam's Club in Folsom for $2.639/g and just a week ago it was 2.409/g!!! (through gritted teeth)
