Yesterday I had my daughter fill up at the cheap place around the corner, it was $4.13 per gallon. At the place across the street from it, they were charging $4.17 per gallon. Usually these two places are close to what Costco charges or just a little more. (These two places almost always have the same price as each other.) I really wish I'd had her go to Costco because I filled up a different car there yesterday and paid only $4.03 per gallon.

I found a new way to save gas! I drive instead of my husband when we're both in the car! Not only does it stress me out that he isn't conserving, but his driving stresses me out at times, tailgating and such. More money and less stress, win win situation!

LOL HP..

The station where I got the gas that made the car run rough has prices listed at 3.78 for Regular! A friend told me that she'd heard from someone else about the problem with the gas at that station. Down the street at the Chevron station it's 3.83. The Shell station next to that one (I won't name) has gas at 3.85. We're sticking to the Chevron from now on. It's a bit higher, but our car runs better with it. As far as saving gas, we're driving our 4 cylinder van more and not making as many trips into town.

Paid $3.489 this morning and guess the station was saving gas, because the pump quit at 7.739 gallons! I was too preoccupied to try and figure out why I was only paying $27 for a fill-up. sheesh

in IE along with Pample. saw 3.95 last nite. It has been about 2 cents cheaper in OC, I expect to see 3.93 at the new Exxon in Santa Ana.

trivia (my ds is going to Yellowstone for the next 6 days with his Godmom, who is the first woman VP at Valero)

I found that an excellent way to "save" gas is to drive through Nevada with the cruise control set at 78 mph. I got 29 miles to the gallon - I've never been higher than 24! At my next fill-up, in Wyoming, was even better - 39 mpg (but I still had half a tank left - the top half of the tank always gets better mileage - I had to gas up, though, because it was only $3.79).

When I used to drive back and forth from here to Yuma, AZ, I would always try to fill up over there before returning to CA.. cheaper gas.
