I guess us elitist snobs in Renton have to kick in more to subsidize the poor folk up north!

That's amazing, I bought diesel for my Ford Territory last night on my way back from Canberra for $1.19 (85 US cents) per LITRE, and I thought I'd gotten a bargain! Luckily for me, I'll get around 600 miles out of a tankfull. (around 21 US Gallons) Cheers, Terry.

$1.57 at one place I drove by with a full tank last night. 10% ethanol, of course.

I'm still trying to figure out why 100% gas costs 20% more.

We'll you get 10% more gas and mpg, and the other 10% is their profit for providing it to you. Kinda like in the olden days water was free. Now paid water in a bottle is the norm for many people.

wow,that's a lot of $ I guess since they can't 'legally' sell it in CO. that drives the price up.. I bought some at a little independent station in the small college town of Gunnison,CO. a little over a month ago and it was $3.79 a gal. for 91 oct. E-free That fuel is great when you're going through the mountains.

Yeah, give me the 10% in a separate bottle so I can drink it.

It is called craft moonshine and all the hipsters love it, but it has to come in overpriced packaging. I don't think they will take it straight from the pump like us animals! God bless those hipsters gotta love them for taking something cheap and tripling the value through well crafted marketing fluff. Kinda like the guy who sold us free water for $2 a bottle I bet he was the first hipster?

I liked the white lightning a classmate from Arkansas would bring up from holiday breaks.
Good for degreasing stuff if you didn't drink it all.

A good de-liner too! Stomach liner that is.

$1.89 Here, where I am, in Arkansas. No idea if it will go any lower or how long before any change one way or the other. Some years back, we were told that Little Rock would be at one rate and as you go out from Little Rock (approximate center of the state), the prices were supposed to gradually be less, until you reached the border, in any direction. That way, with the gas being a little cheaper, around the Arkansas border, it was supposed to keep us from crossing the state line, in any direction, to possibly be able to buy gas cheaper and causing Arkansas to lose any sales, because of it. BUT, I can't tell you how many times I have gone to Little Rock and find the gas cheaper, at least on the West Side, around the highway10 area. Just seems like more "Smoke Being Blown".

After I had posted here, had to go out to Walmart and on the way, saw a Convenience store with Ethanol free gas for $2.35 a gallon. Need to get me some of that.

There is a what I believe is a one owner 71 in my area if your interested. Dude is asking $1k runs, but needs the usual carb clean jazz.

Sounds like a good deal but I'm short on storage at the moment. Plus I have a K1 in the Batcave that has been waiting a long time....

It's hovering around $1.75 which is nice, Caseys raised their prices right after the shootings. They are always ready to take advantage of a disaster of any kind. I don't go there anyway. I had to mix some chainsaw gas and only had e85, shoot. I hope the oil and stabilizer works.
The Yamaha JT60 mini enduro I restored is going to florida in a motorhome. I need to drain and dry the tank, I ran the carbs dry running it in the yard (OK, I sneaked it through the timber trail too). Then I noticed I rode it through dog poo and had to clean the new tires.

chewbacca5000 · « **Reply #46 on:** December 06, 2015, 02:06:19 PM »

Saw $2 here in Syracuse, NY thought I would never see it that low again. Don do you hate that chainsaw or are you trying to give E85 grain alcohol muscles to cut through some old oak? Not sure if your stabil will work or not. Good chance of you burning a hole in the piston though.

Don't leave that stuff sitting in the saw, run it out, use it up.

Don R · « **Reply #48 on:** December 06, 2015, 02:23:27 PM »

You are of course correct. I'm going to run it dry right now before I forget. And the Yamaha.

bill440cars · « **Reply #49 on:** December 11, 2015, 12:16:46 PM »

Well, our prices sure aren't the lowest, but has now gotten down to $1.84 in our area (Morrilton & Perryville) of Arkansas
