we had a few in town that closed when gas shot up to 1.75 back in 02 or 03.
Ours cam down ten cents but then went back up .15 and is now trickling down by a few cents here and there.

I don't want to give em a heart-attack. That is what would happen if I answered the door in the buff. Heck it almost scares me to death when I step out of the shower and look in the mirror.~Mancar1~

Re: Gas Price Increase
You guys think you have it bad, petrol(gas) is $1.55AU a litre(1gallon = 3.97 litres roughly) yet the Aussie Dollar is at $1.05 US and Oil Is $99 a barrel. The last time it was this much the Aussie dollar was around 70 US cents and oil was $145 a barrel .. we should be paying about 90 cents a litre for petrol... Somewhere someone is making ALOT of money...

Sort of makes you want to take a long drive with a 460 powered 4x4, don't it? Long weekend coming up so we're fueling up now in advance of the guaranteed price jump...
and we produce it
