I needed gas today as I was riding around, gas by me is $1.21.9 and it is cheaper as I go west.
So west I go about 25 miles later $97.9 WOW after filling up $4.40
I didn't remember the last time it was under $10 to fill.
Time for another ride.

I paid $2.049 for non-ethanol regular gas today, and diesel is down to $2.209 or so, depending where you look. I don't use the ethanol polluted gas if I can avoid it, even if it is cheaper.

This Pandemic has really effected the price of fuel every where.   We're simply not driving around as much and retailers are dropping the price in order to move their inventory.   Yesterday, diesel was $2.09/gal where I normally get my fuel.   That's 50 cents lower than one month ago.   

I have an acquaintance that bought one of the large (caged) liquid containers, holds about 250 gallons I'm told.   He visited at least three different fuel stops to get it filled before this pandemic ends and prices go back up.   Not something I care to do but, to each their own, I guess.
