This morning it was still at 2.80.

I'll be needing a fill up in a couple of days.

Hopefully I'll catch it at the bottom.

If I do maybe I'll fill up and then park my car and wait till it gets back up over $3 before I drive it.

That way I can buy low and drive high and make back some of the losses I'm taking on this last tank that I bought.

The cops around here are really cracking down on the folks who drive high.
