Not that I buy the stuff any more but that seems very expensive for the US. Here it’s about £5.60 ($7.48) for a US gallon and I’m sure you used to pay less than half what we did.
Hang on, they charge you more if you use a card? That’s illegal in Europe. Probably just means everyone pays +1% though. But no one uses cash here for anything.

I first saw the 3% thing in AZ over a year ago. Quickly followed here.

Today is cancer center day. Takes a couple hours but hope to get a ride afterwards. That's assuming no meteor strikes.

Most places I've seen who charge for credit cards DON'T charge for debit cards.

They do?
On the way home from KCB last night, I stopped at one of the cheapest area stations (Walmart) it was $3.04 per 3.78541 litres.
There's a big Weigels just up the street that's usually about the same price, but it was $3.43, which is in line with many other stations.

Did the first Alpecin ride yesterday and it was pretty meh. But I did lower my FTP on the site because if I any training series at fool
FTP it wrecks me for a day. What a wimp.

We (Canada) are currently at a national average of $1.66/litre (CDN), or about $4.59 U.S./gallon. Our price varies quite a bit, though, across different provinces. Today, for example, we're (Ontario) at that $1.66/litre, while in B.C. today's prices range around $1.85 to $1.90.

For the truck guys. You know who you are. 
This thing is currently plated and driveable. It’s a work in progress with most of the work so far having been done on the drive train, front end and suspension. He said he can lower the body to the ground when parked if he wants, just for stares.

My cancer doc wants me to lose 35# which is easy for her to say since the meds that I’m on cause weight gain. Anyway, my cancerous tumors (many) are being held captive by those same meds.
On the weight thing, I’m not a candidate for glp-1 because of having a testosterone level of 9 and she doesn t want me to lose anymore muscle mass.
Sound correct, docs?
