Whoa, that's an excellent price. I say fill-er-up.

I find it difficult in the NW to find regular gas for that price, diesel is about 50 cents higher that 87 octane here, and stations that do have gas at that price are stations I don't use.

Pulled into the local Wilco Hess station to top off w/diesel this past Saturday. Put $39.00 into the TV and went into the store to pay with my Hess credit card through Chase Bank. Get 5% off all gas/diesel purchases at Hess that way. Price that day was $3.10, so I would have actually been billed at the end of the month for $2.95 a gallon, but the DA#$%^&D computers were down and had to pay full price. Would be nice if they would automate their diesel pumps.

Never thought I would hear those words at 2.97 per gallon.

Yep, one day you'll be telling your grand-kids about the good old days when diesel/gas was under $3.00 a gallon. They'll look at their folks, your kids, and ask if grandpa is telling the truth.

I was talking to a young lady just last month. Told her I worked in a gas station when I was in High School and gas prices was $0.32 a gallon. She looked at me like I just grew horns and a tail. That was only back in 1974!!!

Back in the mid 60s when I first started driving gas was around 25 cents a gallon. Back then there use to be gas wars between the local stations and I can remember once filling my VW bug with gas at 19 cents a gallon.

Wayne, wasn't it around '74 or '75 that the gas doubled almost overnight to 60 cents a gallon? Can you imagine if the same thing happened today.

Yep I remember .25 per gallon until the 70's with the gas shortage

and the odd even system and sitting in lines for hours.

We are kind of dating ourselves but I remember those same prices and gas wars as well back in New Mexico? The other thing I remember in those times is that I was working for $1.50 to $2.92 an hour and Nixon also freezing wages!!

Wayne, You talked about the young lady giving you looks. We have to remember that at the very least 35% of the population in the U.S. today was not alive during the Viet Nam era or Richard Nixon.

Right after the so called gas shortage. And no I don't want to think about it doubling.
