Robin,



I took this picture last week coming back from Myrtle Beach SC, SR 76/301 just a few miles east of Florence SC. I have no idea how long this station has been closed, but 10's of thousands of Diesel consuming RV's headed to the beach and cars of all types begrudgingly pass by it just after a sign that says it's now about $4. I didn't see a good spot in the fuel forum's to post this, looks a bit too serious from my brief tour, but this must also be visible in other parts of the USA, how bout it TDR member's show us your signs and where they are, just an idea. No offense if nothing happens.



It's almost margarita time.



Gary

What a great idea for our next $100 FREE Diesel Fuel Card giveaway. Post your best diesel fuel related sign or photograph by July 25, 2008. A simple post of a fuel sign in your area will get you in the drawing for the $100 FREE Diesel Fuel card. Include the location of the sign. It doesn't have to be a diesel fuel price sign, but it should be relevant. Fuel signs like this are great.



Let us see what you've got.

Shall we move to Tehran or Saudi Arabia? How about Caracas?

 

[Matt400]

Heck, I would be happy to pay the average posted. I don't know where that comes from cuz I never see fuel that low.

 

[The patriot]

I have one of a Sunoco station that was . 59. 9 (reg gas)while they were having a gas war with a station down the street.

This was about 8 years ago.

I got to try to dig it up.

watch out for the people who work or know someone who works at a station, and stages their low price by putting whatever numbers they want, just to win the gas card.

I thought the pic just gets you into a drawing, should make no difference if its a low price or not.

 

[TDRadmin]

Agreed!

Just post a photo. We'll have a random drawing for the free diesel fuel card from everyone who participates.



Simple as that.

Right we need 22. 177 gallons of diesel fuel so bad that we would stage a sign to try to to win in a random drawing. this is only for fun I would love to win this but I know its a long shot.



the price for the gasoline that is posted was the price at the pump on that day its was in MARCH 07 Today that price is 4. 179 per gallon AT THE SAME PLACE.

Someone should do a remake and add Blood for Diesel.

Gas Prices

These are the prices in Wrangell, AK. Diesel is up to $5. 76.

 

[Matt400]

Until Ryan posted I was feeling kinda bad.

We have Chevron at this price:

So being the thrifty shopper I am, I picked me up 28. 6 gal today at the 76 station for just $146. 00! Boy was I happy! Oo.

[STeichert]

I thought this old pump was kind of cool. Sure wish we had the prices that it pumped. It's at an old service station in Mackay Idaho.

That hurts! I never ever bought fuel that cheap, oops, I have only been sparkplug free since 2005! Bought a 2003 Green SLT QC SB 4. 7L handshaker, salesman asked if I wanted the Cummins, duh, slow learner.

 

[Matt400]

Wow, 300% increase. I need to ask for a raise.
