And each of our tanks is 22 gallons, so we can pretty much get the biggest bank for the buck out of that discount.


    Yeah, I'm a Scotsman.
    And cheap too.

    I'm always still in trouble again

      The word is thrifty. Financially responsible. Frugal.

        That's what I said. Cheap (a.k.a., miserly, penny-pincher, tightwad, stingy).

                  Be kinda a silly to by gasoline if you didn't have anything to put it in.

                  $1.98 seems to be standard around here although I passed 2 places advertising $1.95.

                    I once put it in a styrofoam cup. I knew the cup wouldn't hold the gas for long, and I only needed to transfer it from a container to my lawnmower 6 feet away.

                    Wanna guess how quickly a styrofoam cup can no longer hold gasoline?

                            • It was $1.87 here a few days ago but yesterday everyone raised it back to $1.94 despite the price of oil continuing to fall. I guess it is for the holidays

                                yep! Oil prices are lower than they've been in YEARS, on hand Gasoline supplies are up...the only reason to raise the prices right now is they know they can get it for holiday driving...

                                Oil companies are shedding jobs right and left. Drilling and pumping equipment is starting to stack up...the oil industry is going to be decimated again...
