Month of December 2025, (Nat’l Avg $3.001)

That feels like very inexpensive gas, @rossbro. MA has been fairly stable around $3, currently maybe 10 cents less.

Oops, I take it back. Last week I remember seeing I thought around $2.90. Now I'm seeing around $3, with branded gas 20 cents higher. I guess that would be around $3 also with Wayne and Edwin's discounts.

 

I look around at all the fuel-sucking-pigs in this area and I think
gasoline is way too inexpensive.

 

Not a good day for driving, but I had plans with MB, and didn't want to say no.
We went to the Christkindl market in downtown Aurora, then had lunch.
