As per our gas watcher on the bottom of the page this morning.
Best gas price in the state of Mississippi is in New Albany.

The gas watcher also shows gas to be $3.79/Gallon.
The highest gas price in the state of Mississippi is in Baldwyn.

These places are within rock throwing distance of each other.

Do we have an Attorney General this year???

Smoke and fog.
Just another Wall Street speculator excuse to "jump" and "dump".
Their oil has no direct bearing on much other than their own back yard.

It was $3.40 at the Pump n Save on Hardy this morning as I left for work. Hopefully, I can hold off till tomorrow, and gas up in Wiggins where it's usually the cheapest.

I hope this helps people notice that Mom & Pop may be riding this horse too.
.80 a gallon .......
And I promise you the $2.99/Gallon folks are not giving it away.

The Public Service Commissioner and the Attorney General were both just elected into office so they have enough time to help the gas pumps squeeze us for everything we have for the coming 4 years at least.

Wiggins wally world is usually the cheapest out of Hattiesburg, Picayune, Wiggins, and Poplarville. Because I got gas this morning at the Shell, I wouldn't have made it to Wiggins on fumes, I put off getting gas till Monday.

We almost bought a King Ranch Edition F250 before buying the Titan.
I'm kinda glad I went with the gas-burner,but I still would like to purchase a diesel truck in the future.

I drove all the way from North Houston to my house(500 miles or so)on a tank of gas in the Frontier.I like that.

Dang Fotno! That's some good gas mileage! I'd LOVE to be able to get 500 miles on one tank seeing as I drive just about that many miles a week.

* The dirty car boy has some 4 cylinder Altima's that run like a rocket and still go 600 miles on a tank of gasoline.

500miles/20 gallons = 25MPG.

We are living in a completely "what if" financial world. Not much is based on what is actually happening anymore but rather what some apartment living, no car owning, thinks corn is grown in the supermarket Wall Street speculation trader.
A completely hysterical Nancy Girl who is allowed to set off a wave of financial burden on the populace. I blame the federal government for this.
It's not the folks that get a wide financial choice who suffers the most from this rather those on fixed income for whatever reason or those that are in a "captive market" and live more isolated geographically than others. This is also akin to "the company store".

500miles/20 gallons = 25MPG.

you math is wrong since it is obvious he did not use all 20 gallons

more like

500/17=29.4MPG

and it could be 18 gallons..... but the total capacity of the gas tank is 20 gallons and he didn't run out of gas.

and this is coming out of a vehicle rated for 20MPG hwy
