OT: Off-Topic, again.

[Armourboy]

Yeah, I want to make my next car electric. I don't know what but it's gotta be the way to go heading forward. Even looking past the current bubble. I will count myself "behind the curve" when I should have been ahead of it like you. But right now I drive a dumb truck and have a 30 mile commute to work. So uh...

I have an hour drive but if I keep my foot out of it I can get right at 38-39 mpg in my Kia Optima. With my wife driving it's more like 32 lol

The Sam's Club in Milwaukee that was $4.85 went up to $4.91, then down to $4.89. Other places have come down from $5.15 to $4.99 or less.

On my trip to the country, I have seen $4.74 for the usual 87 octane and 10 cents less for E15. I saw lower prices in Janesville, in the $4.30s and $4.40s on Saturday. That was a surprise since the last state average that I heard was $4.89.

$4.29 in Hendersonville yesterday. $4.29 to $4.35 most places in Hermitage and Old Hickory.

Sometimes it's good to live on the less fashionable side of town. Franklin TN, according to Gas Buddy: $4.79 - $4.91, Brentwood $4.89 and up. At $.60 per gallon, it's possibly worth your while to travel this way to fill up!

Just a little something for the offseason

I'm closer to Gordie's age that Wayne's. Excuse me while I commit suicide.

Gretzky is 61 and Howe would be 94... so does that mean you are over 77? Wow. Congrats!

I think Porter and 101st are trying to get me to commit suicide...

Joke's on you, my mom and sister do that for me.

Man, if you're over 77 and your mom is still alive, I take it back... kudos to her, not you!

My dad is 72 and his is still alive. Btw whether you are 18 or 70 your mom can still annoy you lol.

college football reallignment. *head shakes* I'm waiting for a merger of Pac-10, Big-whatever, and ACC

They gotta do something or they all will be irrelevant

Some kind of Big Ten/ACC merger is going to be the only thing that could counterbalance the new SEC.

 

[LCPreds]

Well at least they just say the quiet part out loud now with big time college football. The old mantra 'the kids do it for the love of football!' is gone. Not sure what it has been replaced with just yet but I do know at least that ship has sailed.

Conferences are getting so big, they mean nothing. Pretty soon it will be a top 40 super conference for the big schools, and the big schools only.

Yeah, the way things are with a billion useless little bowls that sometimes cant even find a school with a .500 record, it's probably time for another division in college football anyway. Put all the super bigs in one division, and have another division for the WKUs and Middle Tennessees and their ilk.

When I was driving through earlier in the week, the Flying J just across the Kentucky border on I65 was at $4.03 or something equally relatively low. (It's family tradition to always stop there any time we're on the road in the area.)

 

[Viqsi]

Oh, and as for the college football nonsense... the mental model I'm going with to try to make sense of it all is "The NCAA is dead; long live the Superconferences". The B1G predates the NCAA's existence by a decade, after all, so it's not entirely unprecedented.

We were in Troy/Springfield/Dayton area last week, and it was $4.99 there.

Yeah, up here it's kind of egregiously awful. But that's kind of to be expected.

Filled up for 4.39 here at Costco in Columbus today.

 

[triggrman]

In Atlanta today, 4.29

 

[adsfan]

Filled up for $4.44 yesterday at a Kwik Fill. My wife said it was $4.74 a week ago at the same station. Prices continue going down in Wisconsin.

 

[Legionnaire11]

In Atlanta today, 4.29

I saw $4.19 at the Neighborhood Market on Fortress. $4.39 at Kroger on Veterans.

It's coming down, slowly. I doubt we ever get below $3 again.

 

[AnalogKid]

$3.99 in Paris yesterday afternoon, 4.19 in Murray and 4.07 in Benton.

 

[Adz]

$4.11 to $4.19 in Hendersonville, then saw for about the same in Madison. In Hermitage it was $4.21 last time I gassed up (this was a few days ago) but was still $4.46 in Donelson, same day same chain. It makes no sense but I'll take the lower price! Fortunately I drive so little that I can kind of wait out the little mini surges but if I'd known I'd be heading to Hendersonville I'd have saved that $1.40 by filling up there, ha!
