premium 4.25 Friday l passed it up for mid grade over $100 to fill up…… let’s go BrandonBruce » 16 Jul 2023, 10:13 am » wrote: ↑ 18 gallons.
Range of 400 plus miles, safely. I’d ran well over 250 miles before I filled up.
The pump numbers dropped from $2.82.9 to $2.79.9 as I waited in a line for gas.
I’d left my wallet in that truck stop the night before.
The clerk handed it back. Somebody had turned it in with nearly $300 cash still inside.
I drove there to fetch it.
I had bought a bum a cup of coffee and a sandwich, the night before.
It must have slipped from my pocket. Place was full of the shadiest looking people you could imagine at 2 am.
Why did we go to Joplin, drive all that way?

https://www.joplinmo.org/575/The-Spook-LightBobbing and bouncing along a dirt road in northeast Oklahoma is the Hornet Spook Light, a paranormal enigma for more than a century. Described most often as an orange ball of light, the orb travels from east to west along a four-mile gravel road, long called the Devil's Promenade by area locals. The Spook Light, often referred to as the Joplin Spook Light or the Tri-State Spook Light, is actually in Oklahoma near the small town of Quapaw. However, it is most often seen from the east, which is why it has been "attached” to the tiny hamlet of Hornet, Missouri, and the larger, better-known town of Joplin. According to the legend, the spook light was first seen by Indians along the infamous Trail of Tears in 1836; however, the first "official” report occurred in 1881 in a publication called the Ozark Spook Light.

Vance Randolph used to visit my grandmother in Hermitage.
Vance Randolph was the patron saint of the Hornet Spook Light.
Take a really pretty girl, if you ever go.
There’s a spook light that will appear, on Road 50.
She’ll grab you and you can be really brave, even walk towards it as she trembles in fear.
Afterwards she’ll tell her friends what a hero she has for a sweetheart.
My wife asked me to take her again. I just obliged her.
—-Directions to the Spook Light
From I-44 take exit 4 - Highway 86 South. Follow approximately six miles to junction Route BB. Turn right on BB Highway and follow the road until it ends. Turn right again, go one mile, turn left on E50 Road (also known as Spooklight Road). Approximately 1.5 to 2 miles is the darkest and best place to wait.

"daddy"? good grief...Bruce » 16 Jul 2023, 9:04 am » wrote: ↑ Here is why it’s normal.
When I was a little kid, 60 years ago, my Daddy would buy gas all the time for 22 cents, 23 cents, 21 cents, maybe as high as 24 cents.
And I was a curious little **** and I’d ask why the gas price signs had 23 point 9, why the point 9?
And Daddy would grin and say, go ask Mama, she’ll explain it better.
I’d get the chance to help Mama by fetching her World Books.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mill_(currency)
So early on I knew gas prices ended in mills for the same reason a lot of stores advertised 49 cents a pound chicken and pork. It sounds cheaper than the next price unit.
Gasoline averaged about 23.9 cents a gallon in 1963.
That’s $2.39.9 a gallon today.
But our 1960 Ford got 10 miles per gallon on a good day on a smooth road with a tailwind.
My Chrysler gets 27 mpg at 75 miles an hour, easy.
I’m paying less money for gas than my Daddy did 60 years ago.
And that is almost entirely due to Biden’s drill for oil in Alaska or in the Gulf or anywhere policy.
—-The Biden administration gave formal approval Monday for a huge oil drilling project in Alaska known as Willow, despite widespread opposition because of its likely environmental and climate impacts.
The president is also expected to announce sweeping restrictions on offshore oil leasing in the Arctic Ocean and across Alaska’s North Slope in an apparent effort to temper criticism over the Willow decision and, as one administration official put it, to form a “firewall” to limit future oil leases in the region. The Interior Department said it would issue new rules to block oil and gas leases on more than 13 million of the 23 million acres that form the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska. The drilling project would take place inside the petroleum reserve, which is located about 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle. The reserve, which has no roads, is the country’s largest single expanse of pristine land.
The restrictions, however, are unlikely to offset concerns that the $8 billion Willow project, led by oil giant ConocoPhillips, will have the potential to produce more than 600 million barrels of crude over 30 years./-/
Those caribou, had better start running.
Uncle Joe is for cheap gas.
remember when then libtardos were spouting off how they were responsible for getting gas prices to drop to $4.50 after gas reached $5 while adamantly denying joe was solely responsible for the $5 gas through his policies and EOS?Z09 » 16 Jul 2023, 9:10 am » wrote: ↑ But Bruce...
