Actually the 3.19 here was right before the 4th when they jacked the prices up. Smart guy that I am, I let the tank run dry on the 3rd. 23 gallons at 3.19 was a bit of an ouch. Not sure what the prices are now.

What was that whole protesr O'Reilly had worked out.....dont buy gas on sundys
"Tuesday's Factor included an extensive discussion about the pricing of gasoline and the huge profits American oil companies are making. One thing struck me - after all the experts we've talked to, all the research we've done, we still can't find out who sets the price of a gallon of gasoline. Somebody tells your local gas station owner exactly what to charge, but the five major oil companies manage to fog up the situation so much that confusion reigns. Eight governors have now asked President Bush to investigate alleged price gouging. They base their assertions on a study done by economist Don Nichols, who says for gasoline to cost $3 a gallon, the barrel price that OPEC charges would have to be $95. Since OPEC is presently charging $58, Professor Nichols concludes the US oil companies have some explaining to do. All Americans should cut back energy consumption and not buy gas on Sundays. Let's send a message to these energy people who operate in the shadows. The government owes us some oversight, but we owe it to ourselves to use less oil. Let's do it."
