    What's a gallon?

    A gallon is 3.78 liters.

    Here, the price was $2.05/gallon a few days ago, but it has dropped a bit. I saw it for $1.98 tonight for 87 octane regular gas.

    God bless my gas hog.

    I noticed tonight that the price has gone down from $2.17 per gallon for regular unleaded to $2.07. The last time I filled up it was $1.92. I only have a quarter of a tank left. I suppose I better get $10 worth tomorrow. I play the gas price gamble each week and usually I end up getting the lowest price of the week.

    Here in S.W. Michigan, gas prices can shoot up 25 cents in a day. It's ludicrous and infuriating. The latest price hike? They are blaming China for buying more crude oil lately. Yeah, we believe it, every bit.

    Here, we know to not buy gas on Friday or Saturday. The stations (all 8 gas stations in town ... as soon as one raises the prices, the others jump on the band wagon) usually jack up the prices on Thursday night or Friday morning by .05 or .10 a gallon, and then start dropping the prices on Sunday. They seem to enjoy this game.

    Dan, here they usually raise the prices 1 to 3 times a week. We know for sure they will raise it on Thursdays though. In some states, you have to sell all of a product at the original price or less and cannot do a mark up until new product comes in and the old is completely sold. Michigan for sure doesn't have that law. And it's a shame since so many here are out of work.

    I'm just glad to not have the 92 mile round trip to my old office these days. I used to fill my truck at least 2 or 3 times a week ... figure at least 20 galons on every fillup. I learned right away to fill up the tank and buy cigarettes before I crossed the Michigan line ... and buy a bottle of Fruitopia before I got to a town that required a deposit on the bottle.

    I don't smoke, but Andy does. He pays $3 to $6 a pack. Thank goodness he smokes only half a pack a day. Michigan makes the non smokers in a family pay, too. When it costs them, it costs us.
