I hope it stays this low, Im buying what is essentially a 4 door version of the bmw m3 tomorrow morning and it eats a fair amount of gas.
i saw the part about walmart, owning servos, they are retail GIANT, ant they, here in AUS, we have about 7 or so fuel companys that are around and a lot of interpenants, but i see a old retail giant coles, joining with SHELL<., to give out 4 cents of a litre,if u buy say 30 dollars in the retail stores. plus they sell there wears, in the servo. how long has this walmart been doing this, they be doing this for a about 2 years i reckon,in AUS, and a few other Retail giants also have got on game of it. i beleive here in AUS they hold the price up as lng as they can, however we have a gov, but they do stuff all, as they get FREE petrol, and car they dont care about price, i saw the walmart thing and thought our retail giants, must of visited your country and stole the ideas,,

but yeah the price is droping, so i think i get off the bike and drive again., i rode 25 mins in the rain the other day to work and thought, stuff this petrol price.(i did have a spare change of clothes.
