Thumbs down Tax Increase on Fuel in NH

Although I never thought I would see gas under $2.00/gl again, lets not forget what lies ahead...... With all the increased deficits the state of NH has experienced this past year due to poor economics, over spending and shortfalls in rooms & meals tax to mention a few, will only have to be made up in other areas. I am certain the politics in this whole thing will play out as quick as the gas prices have increased over the past few years.

I have no doubt that's next on the "hit list", especially now that gas prices are low and seem to be still falling.......

Gotta love the lower prices, however -- I only put $10.00 at a time in my Highlander right now and that keeps me going for about 4-5 days at a time, and that's with not worrying about conserving ( get about 21 mpg, and it's not a hybrid). Conversely, when prices are rising I fill the tank and keep it filled and conserve a lot -- I think I could fill the tank for about 35.00 right now, whereas it wasn't that long ago I put in 75.00 and almost choked on that one!

Default $1.00 in a month

It seems the price as dropped more than a dollar in a month. I had heard an expert saying this past summer that oil would drop to $50.00 a barrel since the price at that time was unrealistically high.

Guess he was right.

The gas here was about $1.90 for regular on Wednesday.

Closing the Weirs' Texaco for the season seems very unusual. It's located right at 'disfunction junction' on state route 3, the Daniel Webster Highway, and obviously sells gasoline and fast food, coffee, cigarettes, lottery tickets.....hard to imagine that it closes. Does the nearby Cumberland Farm gas station close for the season?....no...Cumby has their "18 Budweiser Lite- $10.99" sign out by the road, and is selling gas for 1.87 or something.

Where's the best gas station food? Over at the Airport Mobil, close to Agway and the state fuel fill-up......good home made oatmeal cookies!
