Off-Topic and Gas Prices Tracking Thread

I finally get to post! $2.64 for reg, $2.99 for premium at the Buc-ees in Crossville. Hadn’t seen premium that cheap in forever. Driving back from NC to my house in Germantown, where the Kroger gas on Rosa Parks has gotten unusually expensive.

You can post even if it's high!

$3,13 at Cool Springs Sam's

So, this has no bearing on me, but apparently Nissan is f***ed and I hope it doesn't affect any of you.

Pretty sure the job cuts were announced a while ago. The last I heard they were originally going to cut production in Smyrna but after the tariffs had reversed course and were going to move more production there.

A Buc-ee's will open in Oak Creek, WI in the next few months. That is south of Milwaukee and just off of I-94 to the west. The closest one that I know of is south of Indianapolis.

Indy has a Waffle House and a Zaxby's, so the South is invading Yankeeland!

My wife and I stopped at a Buc-ee's in Georgia when we drove to Florida 3 years ago. It was large and my wife said it had the cleanest restroom that she ever saw. I saw that a 12-pack of Yuengling was $2 cheaper than at a grocery store in Deerfield Beach, FL. Maybe they get a better price for buying in bulk quantities?

One of Bucc-ees "claims to fame" is their very clean bathrooms. And they dont allow semis.

Heavy, heavy heart this morning. For those of you not old timers like me there was a husband/wife poster pair, Predperson and Captain Nerdo(know for his signs displayed at warmups) and they just posted on FB that their son unexpectedly passed away.

Prayer and condolences to Joy and Fred.

That's awful. It seems to be a thing for the moment. My dad called me last week to let me know the preacher at his church had died suddenly, he wasn't that old either.

I saw that about Joy and Fred's son, just unimaginable.

As for the southern influx into the northern tier, we have a Tim Horton's being built in Donelson and there is one already open in Mt Juliet. I've never been to a Buc-ee's. I think a WaWa and an In and Out are moving into the area. Maybe I'll go. Probably won't, ha!

The only people I'm aware of that has Nissan ties is Sirryan/Token's wife. I saw them last week at their son's grad party and she didn't seem stressed so hopefully she isn't affected. As sharp as she is, she'd probably be headhunted and not even have to look for a new job.

$2.58 in Hermitage
