Default Gasoline and Thanksgiving...
I read that a record number of people will be on the road this Thanksgiving since flying is now so expensive and annoying. I saw regular gas this morning at $3.10. When does the Holiday gouging start? Aren't they're afraid some of us might fill up early?

Driving back to PA tomorrow. Haven't checked gas prices yet but I know booze is a hell of a lot cheaper here so we will stop and pick up provisions before we leave

3.20 for gas and holding steady at 3.90 for the past month for diesel which is just great. Before that it was up to 4.40 which was not so much.
