Here in Reno gas is $1.76 a gallon if your a member. No cash though. Credit/debit card or costco credit card only.
I hit it at 7:00 A.M. because you can drive right up to the pump. If you wait until afternoon or evening, it looks like 1973 all over again. :eek:

Lines 8 cars wide & 10 cars deep. LOL smile.gif

Anyway, something to check out.

Costco is about 20-25 cents less than the cheapest stations in town per gallon.

My daily driver is a diesel though and they don't sell diesel :(

The fun car only takes 7 or 8 gallons per cruise, and it would take 3 gallons to get to costco, so I don't bother (Costco is about 6 miles from my house). graemlins/clonk.gif

Costco gas is great! About 10 to 20 cents cheaper a gallon. Since it's not convient for me I rarely fill-up there... but I have. If I had an SUV or a big truck... Costco's the ticket!

Wow. I feel better. $1.78 for reg here. However, I might trade $.20/gal for warm weather.

was over at the Kroger grocery store gas station here just about a week ago and regular was $1.49... with a Kroger card you get a few pennies off each gallon too! graemlins/thumbsup.gif

I love reading about how high gas is in the States. It's 89.9 cents a liter here. That works out to about 3 dollars per gallon USD down there. As well, my income tax is 50 percent of what I earn. And don't get me started about the weather or how hard it is to get parts here. Man I could go all day.
Cheers guys!

Canada needs to drop the metric system. See what can happen.

Cheers guys! What was the price 6 months ago and 6 months before that? It's the roller coaster pricing not the actual price that makes folks frustrated...

Hanging right at $1.51, but then they change the gas prices around here like people change underwear. graemlins/sad.gif graemlins/clonk.gif

There's a station on Alhambra in Martinez by my daughter's house that's $1.91 today - a steal compared to the 34 gal.s @ $2.12 I paid.
