Texas AG...

Locally, WalMart actually reduced their prices yesterday. Gas is still considerably cheaper here in Texas than the rest of the country, ranging from $1.35 to $1.45 per gallon. Helps being near production and refineries, I suppose.

District manager claimed that it was an unauthorized price and that no gas was sold at that price. [link\|mailto:jbrabeck@mn.mediaone.net\|Joe]

Oh, and technically, I think it was only $4.99 or $4.89 or something like that. That no man should scruple, or hesitate a moment to use arms in defense of so valuable a blessing [as freedom], on which all the good and evil of life depends, is clearly my opinion; yet arms ... should be the last resource. - George Washington

There were gas lines at most stations on my 50 mile trip home yesterday, but no gas lines today. I did not stop to see if it was because everyone filled up yesterday (so everyone has a full tank), or if most of these stations were out of gas. I think there's plenty of gas, just a bunch of scared people yesterday. I will have to fill up tomorrow, 'cause I'm down to 1/3 tank. (3 days, 1 tank, 300 miles). Glen

I just filled up tonight at $1.84 for the regular (lowest-grade) stuff. 15.6 gallons, over $25. -YendorMike "The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by the skeptics or the cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities.
