Seems that pricing is gaining momentum, I stopped to gas up my Westy at
Sam's Club and regular unleaded was $1.91 in Dallas with premium at
$2.03.
It is going to interesting to see how high it goes.
I saw it at $2.73 in 1972 in Colorado Springs when I lived there.
I remember that well because I was driving an Eldorado Cadillac with a 25
gallon tank, 560 cid engine and about 9 miles per gallon.
