There is a Texas plated car driving around the resort here with a bumper sticker that says, "When Obama took office gas was 1.97 a gallon". I'm a foreigner so don't quite get the political meaning here, but I'm thinking he might want to remove that sticker now. ๐
Texas doesn't spend much on education. Although there was a time about 7 years ago I had to spend $5.10 for diesel there. Really glad that even in central Florida they only stiff us for $2.34 for diesel.
That is fact, if any one bothers to go back into this thread to the beginning in 2008 they would see we were all complaining/lamenting the fact that fuel prices were well over $4 a gallon and in some places over $5. Even John and Angela made a comment about fuel being even more in Canada, almost to $6 after converting liters to gallons and so forth.
My self, I'm going to take advantage of low fuel prices this February and I have a 6500 mile trip planned, and assuming I can average 14mpg I would need roughly 470 gallons, and multiply that by $2.20 a gallon, my fuel cost would be in the neighborhood of $1200 for the whole trip. That is a real bargain.
