Hey Ted!!! Send that wife to fill up those tanks. And she needs to get her lawn mower tank filled, too!

$2.77 here, for the low, and a few cents more at some places.

As a teenager in the early 70s I recall a "gas war" across the border in the northern edge of Tennessee. Portland, TN, north of Nashville. A friend had just returned and bought gas at 19.9 cents a gallon. I drove down the 10 miles or so and filled my tank. Gas was usually about 29.9 to 32.9 about then. I'd never heard of a "gas war" until that one.

Maybe we should ALL sell our cards, cash out, then pool the money and build a refinery, we'd get shares for our cards. I can see it now, Baseball Gas. And anyone making a purchase of 8 gallons or more could get a free, you guessed it, baseball card!
