I seen 3.99 for premium all over Seattle/Tacoma, 3.79 for reg. Cosco has had some decent prices on gas also.

Mark, I seen the Safeway in Yelm had .20 off a gallon if you bought $50 worth of grocerys with the Safeway clubcard, not sure how long that will be going on for but according to the sign it was only available at five or so Safeway's.

Thanks Jason, I'll have to check that out.  I'm in Yelm just about every other day.

Vette(s): White '79 Corvette. It's a driver.
I saw regular unleaded for $4.06 in the Bronx today.
It went up to $3.86 over the past few days where I live
 
P.S. SFVette,
       I agree with all you said except for where you said Congress has
       had thier heads. And I don't think it's been in the sand butt rather
       someplace else that the sun don't shine. Evil%20Smile

Vette(s): 1972 conv, 4-speed, 350, 200hp, numbers match, rally wheels, war bonnett yellow w/white top. good condition, nice driver.
Cry Regular is 3.85, Diesel is 4.26. We have been car pooling but still cannot get ahead. It is going up a couple cents every day. Cry It costs me as much to fill the two wheeler now as it did to fill the VETTE when I first got it. BUT as DWRIGHT says " THAT kind of entertainment,DRIVING, is still cheap excitment. I try to keep my foot out of the float bowl.

Vette(s): 1975 Stingray Nomad Wagon, with Daytona front, custom hood scoop, dual side vents; 420HP 350; Doug Nash 5 speed; 1980 rear end W/4:11 gears; Cherry Red metallic paint.
As was stated, people need to wake up and realize the depth of the problem.  Last night, Diesel was 4:79.9 for me.  Heres where it hits everybody that they dont realize.  My Semi gets all of 7 MPG when I am hauling 44,000 of Goodyear Tires up to Victorville.  I have seen the fuel prices almost double in the past 24 months.  I have no choice but to add the cost to Goodyear, who has to increase tire prices sooner or later.  What you are complaining about now with gas or food is just the tip of the iceberg, I dont want to think of what inflation will add up to in the next 2 years.  I do know that with the cost of running a truck, just tires, oil changes and fuel it has to be up OVER 20% in the past 12 months.  This will add up for everybody else quickly.  Quick thing to remember: If you bought it, a truck brought it.

Dave:
 
I am the son of a trucker and I really feel your pain! You make some really valid points. Sooner or later the inflationary pressure due to increased transpotation costs on the economy will be staggering. If you'all think recession is an issue now....wait.

Confused I filled a jug for my lawn mowers, one for the church mowers and attempted to fill my S-10. The pump quit at 100.00. Would not let me pump any more. Insert my shell credit card, revalidate and continue to spend money for it to re-cycle through my eternal combustion engines.Ouch 
If da revenuers wooda let us keep soma da clear combustable juce back in 19 an 31 we just mita put the racky folks outa biznes, an weed STILL be happy.
