$1.51 a few blocks away from me today. I just hope it doesn't go so low that we won't be able to afford it.

I paid $1.69 on the MASS PIKE outside of Springfield yesterday for gas!

Also, the MASS DOT is out to get us both North and Southbound on I-91 just South of Northampton with the bridge construction lane splits they put in both ways last week

Probably the same guys that were predicting we'd be paying $6/gal now when they were doing their predicting last year...

It seems to me that their long term predictions are as useful as the crack-u-weather 15 day forecast is for the weather on that 15th day (unless of course they're forecasting for San Diego... without looking I'll guess 68 and partly cloudy).

the pike is under price control (at least informally) now. There was a big ho-haw about the literal highway robbery prices a couple years ago. They agreed to be near par pricing with the region. The argument of the cost of being open 7x24 didn't hold water.

No complaints from me about that! Much easier just to quickly get off at a rest area, fill the cars tank, empty my tank, grab a quick munchie from the convienence store and be on my way without having to deal with any traffic lights!

the only diff between you and they is that they get paid to guess :smile:
Look, I'll give you a nickle when I see you and you can give me the forecast. Now that you're paid, you're a "professional" too.

My daughter has been refereeing since since she was about 13 and paid to do it, thus she's a professional referee too!

Deal, I might be able to use that "experience" as a jump start to a whole new career!
