A Sad First
I paid over $3 a gallon for gasoline for the first time yesterday. The two competing stations near the office that are generally almost as low as you can get in the region finally gave up holding the line at $2.99 the end of last week and went up to $3.01.
It’s possible I could still get gas for just under three if I drove to the right place, but it wouldn’t be worth the drive. Plus it’s still better than the stations near home, ranging from $3.05 to $3.12. I’ve seen it as high as $3.17, but $3.05 to $3.10 seems to be the norm.
(And as I type the end of this post, here comes the train exhaust, not “right on schedule,” but actually a little later than normal. If they start later I think they sit idle for a shorter duration before leaving.)
deisel fuel is changing so the stink should improve. school started here so we have to keep the windows closed as the deisel buses rumble down the street.
they outlawed deisel cars here after years of the air pollution police telling us deisel dosen’t pollute, but the cars will be back in 2007 as Ultra Low Sulfer Deisel Fuel is available. ulsdf is suppossed to be phased in everwhere staring in july 2006.Posted by on 08/10 at 12:33 PM
