How are gas prices near you?

Thought I should take a picture. May not see it this low again.

Paid 1.899 /gal this morning in North Alabama and it should lower by Christmas if things keep on the current track.

$2.579 for corn whiskey blend CRAP - $2.979 for real gasoline.

The cartel is playing games with us. A week ago the differential between gas and almost gas was $0.60.

Which brings up another point.

I refuse to use ethanol blended fuel as long as real gasoline is available.

For example: I comfortably and reliably drive a, yes old, 1992 Lincoln Town Car with over 220K miles on the clock and on a 75+ mph, I-80, 320 mile round trip to my see my daughter and family, I consistently get 21 mpg. If I were using corn whiskey blend my mpg figure would drop to at least 19 mpg. Putting a pencil to that, a trip with real gasoline at $2.979/gal would cost me $45.39. Using the almost gasoline, low power blend at $2.579 would cost me $43.44. A slight differential of $1.95 to use real gasoline. Considering the lack of power, how the vehicle runs and the damage done to the fuel system by the ethanol, I keep buying the real McCoy.

Not too long ago there was but a $0.10 differential. The same sheep now, still bought the cheaper crap, not realizing that their bottom line was compromised. 100% proof positive, there is no cure for stupid.

It’s hardly rocket science that the blended stuff does not have the energy/gallon that real gasoline does, ergo lower mpg figures and higher $/mile figures.

I absolutely will not use ethanol blended fuel in my Lawn Boy mower, Ariens edger, B&S pressure washer, Stihl string trimmer or Stihl blower. I live in corn country where there is an ethanol plant on every corner and support the agricultural industry to the fullest except when it comes to the use of ethanol fuel. I guess we are quite lucky that we can still buy gasoline. I understand there are areas where blended fuel is a mandate.

Rant over.

Converting everything to US gallons and taking in the exchange rate, I paid $3.00 US dollars this morning
