Tuesday

On Monday, in Cortland NY. This is a rural red area of NY state between Binghamton and Syracuse.

In Potsdam area, as we drove thru on the final leg of our journey back to the North Country for the summer, we saw prices at $4.79

We left sunny warm Crystal Coast of North Carolina on Friday and it was $4.39

And unfortunately, because the weather is still cold and rainy in Northern New York, we just broke down and ordered more heating oil at the ridiculous price of $4.99 per gallon. If we pay within 10 days, they knock 10 cents per gallon off the price.

JFC.

KCMO. I think our gas price just went up $.30 to $4.30. [View all] leftyladyfrommo Tuesday OP

Every station in KCMO has the exact same price for gas? That seems odd. beaglelover Tuesday #1

It can depend on your location. I think it must depend on their taxes. leftyladyfrommo Tuesday #2
