I still can't fill my Suburban because the gas pump always shuts off at $99.00. 42 gallon tank! :mad:


I agree, this is bull****.

The last excuse I heard released from SunCor (only refinery in CO) was that gasoline inventory was tight on CO because of the increase in demand of diesel for the harvest. GIVE ME A FREAKIN BREAK, what harvest?!?. Have you seen Iowa..corn field after corn field after soy bean field, and gas there is about $.80 per gallon cheaper. Thanks to Ken's link on the state by state tax you can see taxes are basically equal (.404 vs .401) so this isn't the difference.

There's probably a fair amount of truth to that! :) The Country Runs on Diesel!...Not gas.

All pumped up! Station creates stir with $1.999 gas deal

By STEVE STONE, The Virginian-Pilot
? September 18, 2006


VIRGINIA BEACH - Not too many years ago, folks lamented the arrival of $2 a gallon gas.

On Sunday, they were pumping it thankfully along Rosemont Road.
"Oh, yeah!" said Mark Bores, 50, of Virginia Beach as he filled the tanks of his small fleet of trucks for $1.99.9 at Bumble Bee Fuels & Automotive in the 300 block of S. Rosemont Road.

"When I came in today and saw this, I filled up my truck and then went back and got the others," said Bores, who owns MB&A Home Improvement.

David Heal was happy to have lines of customers at his pumps Sunday. The owner of Bumble Bee stung his competition Sunday morning when he dropped his price from $2.09.9 Saturday evening to a tenth of a cent below the two-buck barrier Sunday morning.

The price cut prompted clerks at neighboring stations to change their signs, many cutting back to $2.00.9, but none apparently willing to hack that last penny to match Heal

He expects he'll not be able to maintain the sub-$2 today, however. "I'll probably be back up to $2.02 or $2.03," he said. "I can't afford to lose but so much."

The last time the price was near $2 a gallon was early December, AAA reports
