Was in Kauai last week and filled up the rental car at Costco and it was 4.42 for 87 and 4.72 for 93. Every other station was 4.53/ 4.83. It was a crappy Mustang convt.

what i really dont understand is, gas back when oil was at $150 a barrel cost me $4.66 a gallon at the same shell station. but now oil is at what $110 a barrel, so why is it $4.33 a gallon now? i remeber a few years back when oil was around the same price, a gallon was between $3.25-$3.40 not $4.xx. it just doesn't make sense.

I'm still gonna drive mine as I am sure most others are, but I have been procrastinating on buying a battery tender. I think now is the time to do it and probably drive less. And in TX it's that time of the year when electric bills will be going through the roof
