Hope Everbody is Safe over there

[Texas Lawdog]

Arcey, What's up with these NEW AGE COPS: No coffee, No Donuts, and no Cigarettes!  What's this world comin' to?   What are they doin' messin' with our persona.

[Arcey]

Beats me. We'd secure 'n go drink beer tagether. They secure 'n meet it the gym. What I meant when I said we don't belong no more.

They sign a no smokin' on or off duty agreement with the city. Get caught get fired. 'Long 'bout '98, the city decided no one could smoke on duty. AV came in 15 minute increments. Turn in a 15 minute slip, step out back 'n burn a couple – go back ta werk. By the end of the day I might have used two hours. I was maxed 'n had ta take time or I'd lose it. Turned into an accountin' nightmare. Them inclined ta enforce it learned ta look the other way.       

[Texas Lawdog]

We got policy saying n No smoking on duty or off duty and no smoking in uniform.

[Arcey]

Ike's just truckin' along cross the gulf. Crude prices dropped for the third straight day. $102.58 at the close.

[Four-Eyed Buck]

Crude's goin' down, but gas prices are going up around here. Currently at $3.69, up from $3.39 earlier ..........Buck

[Tensleep]

Paid 3.39 fer regular unleaded yestiddy...

NBC 12 reported 3.37 today

[Trinity]

Just paid $3.629.  It was 3.499 two weeks ago.

[Ozark Tracker]

$3.34 last we bought, don't know if it's went up today

it sure don't go down as fast as it goes up.

[Arcey]

Been 'round $3.30 here last couple weeks. Paid $3.18 last tank but that was discounted 'cuz I bought a $6.00 car wash. What's strange is 7-11 'round the corner is cheaper'n Wawa down the street. 7-11 is usually real high. Wawa ain't. Makes my point, crude vs. refined. It's the local dealers reactin' to whatever they're reactin' to. Ain't solely impendin' storms.

[Tensleep]

If that 7-11 is a Citgo then it's Chavez tryin' to take over....

[Arcey]

Think 7-11s are all Citgo here. I'll pay 4 cents more at Wawa. Cleaner, better stocked 'n the staff is better trained. I don't deal with 7-11 these days.

Ole Hugo has publically stated he wants it at $200.00 a barrel. Guess he figgers we'll never drill or build more refineries. Notice even the socialists have backed off the 'we can't drill our way out if this'? T-Bone Pickens has dropped that lie from his ads too.

[Tensleep]

Citgo now has some new aliases too...

Liberty and Petro Express

[Four-Eyed Buck]

Thanks, 10ZZZZZZ, I was tryin' to remember those. All the stations that were Citgo around here, aren't now! they ain't the other alias's either

[Tensleep]

I was told today that Chavez had 2 or 3 more brands but the feller couldn't remember all of them.

[Arcey]

Think Lady Byrd's places are still flyin' Citgo flags. I don't know. I don't pay any attention to 'em.

Know a couple years ago they weren't gonna renew with uncle Hugo 'n market their own brand. Citgo under another name? A change of signage 'n decals on the pumps?

[Major E A Sterner]

Reg up here is $3.899, Mid Grade is $4.099 an Hi-test is $4.399 Wish it was as low as Y'all have it, tha extra up here is fer tha state tax an the 10% ethanol extra charge 

[Texas Lawdog]

We're still about $3.40 a gal. for reg. at the cheepie places.

[Leo Tanner]

You guys got gas prices that start with the number 3?  Feel blessed out there.
     I aint seen anythin that didn't start with 4 fer months.  A five dollar bill just gets ya a smidge over a gallon of the "cheap" stuff.

[Texas Lawdog]

Leo, That's another reason I'm glad I don't live on the West coast.

[Four-Eyed Buck]

$3.69 here today, at least when I had a free hand to look out a winder( LOOOONG story)
