 Hey gang,,we had a new Murphys gas station open in our little country town on Thursday, prior to this all of our local gas stations had no outside competition, so they had regular gas at 4.05, and super dooper at 4.25. It was amazing, the new station opened at 3.85 a gallon, and all of the other stations miraculously were able to drop their price to match. Well the war went on thru the day Thursday, Today (Friday they are all at 3.72). Hope the "war" escallates.rd

One of my 3 jobs goes just to gas to get to all of the jobs.  It just pays for gas.  Nothing else left.
