We run from about 1.89 to 1.94 here. For the cheap stuff. Good stuff has topped $2 per. Costs me $20 to fill up a ten gallon tank.

Go figure this: its 1.99+ for the cheap stuff down the country where they can jack prices up because they are far away from everything.

Jeez

I dont know where in bham you are but the racetrac on 31 and 52 in Pelham has VERY! Cheap gas.
www.alabamagasprices.com helps B)

Until we get back up there this week it is costing us money to go to work every day. 30 gallon tank on a bronco- Guess what it costs to fill that?

I know the racetrack you are talking about. I live in Oak Grove and I work in Hoover (my office is at teh galleria). I dont use racetrack gas. Reason why, my uncle used to drive a truck that delivered gas to race tracks. The reason their gas is so cheap is that they find the cheapest gas they can per day and use it.. there is no consistency from them and also their filtering standards are not up to par as some others like amaco and shell.

Eww gross. Same for Sams Club and Supermart I am venturing?
I don't normally go for racetrac gas either- I usually try to find a texaco/shell but in a pinch... and it's .15 cheaper there than the texaco/shell down the road on 52.
I will be living in Alabaster come this weekend, and gas there on 119s is running WAY more than everywhere else- 1.94 for cheapies.

Oh MAN! The galleria, HOW I have missed it! University mall in Tuscaloosa doesn't hold a candle.

Yeah...we have about 1.90 for the cheap stuff over here. And what really annoys me is that we have reserves sitting right in my backyard...
