| 4 Dollar Gas
Filled up this morning, and for the first time, I paid $4.01 for high octane. Ouch.
Then, to rub it in, I had to fill up the boat, too. Let's just say it was a little higher.

| You guys are lucky, it is 3.99 a gallon up here for 87 octane. Just came back from Tennessee last night, and you guys are about 15-20 cents cheaper per gallon down there. It is 4.74 for diesel by me... it is rediculous. | |

| I've heard from several people that what we are paying for gas may "seem" high to us, but considering the cost of fuel in Europe, we are getting a pretty good deal. Didn't know it was close to $10 though. Ouch.

Then your comment is senseless.

I read his post to say you should just be happy you can afford a hummer and a boat since he can't, nor can I. I don't understand how someone saying don't complain about having to pay more for the luxuries of life if you still can afford them is making a senseless post. | |

But, since my dad and I were talking about this very fact yesterday, I will ask you all here. Are there seperate tanks in the ground at the gas station for the different grades of fuel? Or, are they seperated in the big tankers that come to fill up the tanks in the ground? Where does the process happen?
