Citgo station off the B-W parkway, near my house.
A gallon of whole milk there is $4.09. Still no tax on food in MD, at least I don't think so.
Diesel fuel is $4.09. And nine-tenths. A gallon.
Not that you can run your car on it, but what else is sold by the gallon and is now cheaper than motor fuel?

But we need it to function in this world, so prices will rise until everyone just stops going places, then we'll really have to figure out something else to do.

|  | (aka Greg Harman) | | Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Dunbar, West Virginia | | | How many of you buy bottled water? What do you pay per ounce out of a vending machine? How 'bout that new Micki D's commercial for sweet tea; about 6 oz of tea with ice and a cup for $1.00. And they are proud of that price. What is it about gas and oil that makes us think its a right to buy it cheap. We compete for it on world market, transport it, refine it, distribute it, tax it and sell it for about $4.00/gal. Not bad when compared to sweet tea and bottled water that nobody says squat about. Outrageous profits? Sure, its called supply and demand. I remember buying Camel filterless premium cigarettes in the 60's for $0.19 a pack, gasoline for $0.27 a gal, 16 oz cola for $0.10 and a pack of peanuts for $0.05. You could get a brand new Volkswagon for under $2000.00. It's a different world folks; get used to it.

See the difference?
