+ Charlie Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I just returned from a trip from Palm Springs to Austin. Driving east, the gas was cheaper at every stop, as low as $4.09 for premium in Texas. Coming back, even though I didn't need it yet, I stopped and filled the tank in Yuma, last stop before California prices. + Lucky and mike carey 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always fill up in Yuma when traveling from Phoenix to San Diego and in Quartzsite when traveling to Palm Springs. BTW: The lowest-priced Chevron in Phoenix is charging $5.21 for a gallon of regular gas. + Charlie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloKyle Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 NY's gas tax holiday went into effect yesterday and will go through the end of the year. My county is also offering a discount on their tax as well through February. So gas has gone from around $4.79 to $4.49. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother in law works from home now and rarely goes anywhere far, so he let his gas tank go down to nearly E. He has a 23 gallon tank. He went to Costco (or BJs) to fill up & the pump cut off at $100 because there's a $100 limit for credit cards. And now, a public service announcement... Stephen Fry: ‘My life is changed forever’ Fry, 64, shared with his 12.4 million Twitter followers the meaning of the little triangle next to the fuel gauge icon. “Well, simmer me in prune juice and call me Daisy. Hey, whatever turns you on! I never knew till now that you can tell which side of a car the filler cap is on by a little arrow next to the petrol pump icon,” he tweeted. “64 years on the planet shrouded in ignorance. My life is changed forever,” the actor continued. Ford CEO Jim Farley responded to Fry on Twitter, sharing the backstory for the feature. “The idea for this indicator icon was recommended by a @Ford engineer named Jim Moylan in 1986,” Farley shared. “It was such a useful idea it eventually spread to other manufacturers,” he added. Farley shared the original letter pitching the idea, which included an illustration. “The indicator or symbol I have in mind would be located near the fuel gauge and simply describe to the driver on which side of the vehicle the fuel filler door is located,” Moylan wrote in April 1986. “Based on personal experience…I feel that this little indicator would remove the guesswork of which side I want to park,” the letter said. The icon was first used in the 1989 Ford Escort and Mercury Tracer and later adopted by other automakers, according to Fox. Somebody tell Rita Rudner about this... she used to have a joke in her act about having a rotating gas tank... whichever side of the pump she pulled up to, the gas cap was on the other side.

+ Charlie Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 I have two cars, one with the gas cap on the left and other one on the right.

samhexum Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Just heard on the radio that a station in NJ is selling at $3.83 for cash. And that's full-serve, as you ain't allowed to pump your own gas in NJ (or Montana). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
