Mr. Joe G, may I be so bold as to ask where is Frostbite Falls. Looked it up on my street and trips and couldn't locate it.
Thanks and I also hope the price of gas keeps going down. I have a 10,000 mile trip planned this next summer.

Frostbite Falls, MN is the home of some of my favorite TV stars.


I live in Arden Hills. A suburb of the Twin Cities.


P.S. I saw gas as low as $2.189 today.

I thought $2.45 was fantastic now I just feel picked on.

[Mike C.]

Down to $2.239 at the truck stop this morning. Hope it keeps going south.

It's not that low compared to the posts I've seen but $2.75 at the local Arco got my interest yesterday. I won't use a debit at Arco's anymore since one station here had a skimmer device on it and lots of victims. I try to purchase my gas at Costco even when on a trip Danny

Looks like I win again for the USA prices!
West Coast prices have got some of you beat by $1.
Filled up this morning for $3.35 for supreme, $3.25/$3.15 for regular.

And the "service engine soon" light came back on, even though I just had it fixed 2 weeks ago and a complete tune-up.

Here's a link to a gas price web site called Gasbuddy.com.

If you zoom in it will show you the current prices at just about every station. If you zoom out, it shows sort of a regional gas price temperature map. It makes me feel sorry for my friends out west.

On another forum I frequent, they said that there is some kind of price war going on in the metroplex area. Gas can be had for under $2/gal.

I wish they could have price wars in MN. There's a state law here that stations have to mark-up their gas at least $.05/gal. The law was originally intended to protect the old Mom and Pop service stations from the big chains - it didn't work. They're all gone, but the law is still in effect.

Hey, here's some good news!

NEW YORK, 10/30/2008 (CNNMoney.com) -- Exxon Mobil Corp. set a quarterly profit record for a U.S. company Thursday, surging past analyst estimates.

Exxon Mobil (XOM, Fortune 500), the leading U.S. oil company, said its third-quarter net profit was $14.83 billion, or $2.86 per share, up from $9.41 billion, or $1.70, a year earlier. That profit included $1.45 billion in special items.

The company's prior record was $11.68 billion in the second quarter of 2008.
