GAS (gasoline!)
-
My Grandparents ran a Conoco gas station when I was a young boy. My Grandmother would pump gas...clean your windshield...and check your oil. My Grandfather fixed radiators and did mechanical work in the 2 garage stalls ...those were the days my friend!
-
Gas were I live is, $4.25 a gallon for regular...

I know that type of place ...... at that time .... there were more full service places .... check the oil, and the fluids, clean the windshield, check the tires etc .... then to keep up with changes ..... there was the combination of full serve and self serve .... then they said to the owner .... we are making this a convenience store with gasoline .... and we are going to level the place ..... nice knowing you .... but it turned into a blessing in disguise ..... after some time ... they got their regular customers back at a location close to that area

It's dropped down to 4.35 here.
Why aren't all busses, municipal vehicles, school buses, garbage trucks, etc ordered to be on natgas?

from 3.63 to 3.59 for ethanol enhanced regular $2.50 a gallon would be far more cost effective...we don't have to change anything...outside of cutting the price/how much we pay for it...in half! ...buy $20.00 "worth" of gasoline...walk into the gas station...and give them $10.00 for it ...and tell them that it is time for the "oil barons"...to..."suck it up"...

I'm glad that I don't own a 747 and needed gasoline ...... watching the pump turn and turn until it reached $254,000.00 would freak me out
But then so does the capacity of the fuel ..... 63,5000 gallons

...and jet grade fuel is more expensive than the diesel fuel that we use in most big trucks...and the gasoline that we use in most cars and motorcycles

They should charge more to frivolous users. Like for motorhomes, boats, jetskis, etc.
