40 cents cheaper gas DOES look better when it goes down.


Still insane, but $3.64 a gallon is a nice change (never thought I'd say that). At least I can fill my mower up for $10 now.

The stations around me haven't got the word yet that prices are supposed to be coming down. In the area, they're still @ $4.10-$4.26 for regular unleaded.

Last I checked, our prices had come down about 10 cents/gallon. Still in the $4.50-4.60/gallon for 92 octane.

Scraped on that side cause the grass shoots out the other side so I have to drive along the fence line with that side and more often than I care to admit I scrape or run into a fence post (that ain't going anywhere ).

But I can do an acre in half hour.

Anyway, back to thread topic... the mower holds 13 gallons!

I'm glad gas prices have come down. The US and world economies are hurting, temporarily reducing demand, so prices have dropped. How long will it last, no one can be sure, but it's good to have some $$ relief at the pump!
