I filled up today for $2.67/gal. That “Jersey smell” that people laugh about? It’s from the petrochem refineries along the Turnpike up north. That little patch of stench keeps my gas prices (relatively) low. Who’s laughing now? 😛 ---

I think I paid $2.93/gal for regular unleaded last week. My morale regarding gas prices is so low that anything under $3.00/gal seems reasonable now. ☹ ---

Here in west central Louisiana, I saw $2.79/gal at the station that has the cheapest prices in town, and $2.85 or $2.86 everywhere else. This was yesterday, as I was off today and thus haven’t gone anywhere. ---

In Wichita it just jumped up twenty cents to $3.249. The official excuse is the recent flooding of a refinery at Coffeyville (120 miles away; said refinery dumped 70,000 gallons of crude in the Verdigris River - sorry about that, Oklahoma). ---
