Too frustrating to look at the gas prices.  Just gotta pay it I guess.  I've pretty much Parked my Cummins Diesel Truck because of the fuel prices.  Drive around a car all day now (Unless I can sneak the Mrs Truck away from her   )
I picked up an old Bug to run around town with, seems to run forever on 10 gals!.. Â
I caught my youngest son stealing $$ from me a few months ago, so I took away his 1995 Pontiac Grand Prix which was still registered in my name, and is now my work vehicle. Â 26mpg with gas sure beats the hell out of 10mpg on Diesel
I guess letting him have the diesel would be cruel and unusual punishment.

Still $4.05 here. The Arco had reg for $3.89 and was packed everytime I went by. The Texaco directly across the street was still at $4.45 and I never saw one customer in four days. BTW, the Arco in Parker is now another Terrible's.

Well, That's So They Can Get You Comming And Going......
Not me, I go to Woody's
Last time I was there they were more expensive!..
I've noted that a couple of trips too. Most of the time they were the same or within one cent of each other. Terribles was 3 or 4 cents higher. And don't forget the extra 45 cents extra that Arco charged for using a card. I only buy about 10 gallons in Parker stations.

So, did you give him the diesel to drive!.. Â
No way man.  That thing is the fastest vehicle I have since I put the Edge with Attitude on it.  Kick it up to the 4th setting and I cant keep the truck going straight down the road  Â
It even outruns the Mrs 2008 Dodge Hemi truck  Nobody around here drives my Diesel but me Â
But, that aside, one of my pet peeves is stealing and all of my kids know that. Â I will NEVER let that son that I caught stealing drive any of my vehicles nor will I ever help him get another vehicle (I gave $1k to each of the 5 kids for their first car). Â He's now gonna learn the hard way and if he wants something he better go get a job and earn it. Â No more help from dad
