Hey, Rusty, do you remember $0.19 gas at the Oak stations in the north suburbs in the mid-1960's?

The highest sustained spread, absolute or especially percentage, I've ever seen.Yet in my 27 years, here, I've never seen the government be the least interested in the open, obvious price fixing that is the Twin Cities gas market.Hard to believe that anyone has prices higher than mine! Gas here jumped a dime (to $179.9) in the last 10 days.I have a van that was my dads. I use it to haul band equipment. It is equipped with 2 30-gal tanks (460cu is a hungry beast!). I usually run the whole season (of our bluegrass show) and then fill the tanks for the next season. Looks like I need to top them off now rather than later.

I'm happy to contribute to your happiness, Libertas.
