That makes good sense, seeing as Tulsa has the fourth lowest gas prices of any city in the nation.

I drove by QT last night at $3.15 and Shell at $3.36. Damn that QT and their 21c cheaper gas.

Oh, but let's not insert fact into a perfectly good rant!

I'm sure it has something to do with unfair treatment of Tulsa by state officials.

Gas was $3.02 in OKC last Friday when I drove to Texas, it was selling for $3.69 in Gainsville just across the border.  Bet both batches came from the Ardmore Valero refinery.  

Gas has been below $3.00 in OKC area since Tuesday from my reports.

Take QuikTrip out of our cultural equation and most of us would be lost. My wife and I have been on a weight reduction routine since January. By agreement I get one of QT's hard donuts every time we buy gas. Gotta have the QT. [:)]

Thanks for the tip on that this morning.  I thought I'd take jerry cans, coffee cans, etc. and stock up.  But I remembered, I'm driving a pick up.  I'll just caulk the tail gate shut, fill the bed with gas and throw a tarp over it.

Then all I need to do is siphon over from the bed when I need more gas.

I wonder how many gallons a rowing shell would hold???

I know...is it wrong that a took a picture of my kids eating a Hotzi together...to commemorate the day the 2 year old graduated to her very own Hotzi, not sharing anymore?  Family history, that one.

And no, my kids are not chunks of butter,  they are rather skinny, yet eat me under the table regularly

And, then again gas on Grand Lake is $4.50 plus. We gassed up the boat this past weekend and it was $ 150.00 and by no means do we have the largest tank on the lake.

Gas yesterday here in Kansas City at QT was $3.17 a gallon.  I havent been out today to see if it has dropped from there.  Hope so, I need to fill up.

Oklahoma normally has the nations cheapest fuel, But not this time I seen on a Omaha web site that some stations in the Metro Omaha area are having a "gas war" and prices are as low as $2.89 a gallon. In other parts of the country gasoline is high and hard to find since the hurricane like in Nashville and Atlanta people have to line up for gas. Houston is still having fuel problems too.[B)]

Drive a few miles outside the Tulsa metro area and prices go up several cents. QT and competition keep it cheaper in Tulsa than in most of green country.

We've been to Springfield, Mo. a few times this past summer and they had cheaper gas than us each time. Quick Trip isn't the big kahuna up there like they are here.
I was in Kingfisher, Okla. last weekend and they even had cheaper gas than us!
I'm thinking maybe by the first of the week we will see it below the $3 mark.[;)]

Often it's about the same.  At the moment it's higher.  (I know this because we currently live just outside of Branson on Tablerock and make trips to Tulsa a couple of times a month.)  I just bought gas at the Ozark QT a couple of hours ago and it was $3.24.  As you say, QT isn't the Big Kahuna up here, but I'm just glad they have even a small presence here.  We moved from Tulsa to Fort Lauderdale last year, then to Branson (and now moving back to Tulsa in a couple of weeks!) and I was having serious QT Withdrawals in FL!

I expect -zero- sympathy but be glad you are not buying airplane gas.  Last weekend it was $4.79/gal at Riverside/Jones airport by Jenks.

That's cheap compared to most other places around the country that are selling it for upwards of $6 a gallon for 100LL.  People are now calling it 'blue gold'.

Don't look now, but it's already dropped to $3.09.

Sub-$3 gas is coming fast.

It may also have to do with the switch from summer grade back.  The summer grade gas that the five county region chooses to use always makes us more expensive than the City in the summer.  They usually revert around the 1st of October every year.

Hey, look what date it is!

Or worse.  It was over $5 here just a month or so ago.  It feels strange to be glad gas is only $4.79.

While in the Mid West City area Friday and Saturday I found 100% gasoline for as low as $2.84 per gallon.  Some Ethanol was still as high as $3.04.  One intersection had four gas stations with fuel ranging from $2.89 up to $3.20.  Reminded me of the old gas wars of the 60s.

You could tell the folks that were cash poor and dependent upon the Gas Company Credit plan.
