The Golden Eagle grocery store chain is tied to the Get Go gas stations. They give a discount on gas figured on your grocery purchesses and the other day our discount had reached $1.35 a gallon. They only allow yoy to purchase 30 gallons on that deal so I gathered up my gas cans and Linda and I planned to make our "killing". She went out shopping today and called me so we could meet at the station. When I got there I was surprised that their gas was only $1.81 a gallon but when she showed up part of her shopping had been groceries. She had run the discount up to $1.50. Now everything is full and the gas was $ .24 a gallon. I can remember pumping gas at that price before but it's been a      l  o  n  g   time. GPster

Gas actually went up here recently. Most stations are around $1.74 9. But it's as low as $1.61 if you want to drive across town. (three miles) I went to N.Carolina for Thanksgiving and we filled up at a small station in W. Virginia. My wife was puyying in the gas while i was visiting the restroom. When i came out she asked me to moved the car ahead because there was a problem with the pump. I looked at the pump and it shower $18 on it. i thought it had quit working before she was done filling the tank. When she came back out she said the pump didn't print a receipt and she had gone in to get one. I couldn't remember the last time I filled up from under a quarter tank for $18!!!!

In the high $1.70s down here.  Denise, how did you make out with your, ah the Big Old's rear end?  To bad you didn't make Daytona.

The rear was fixed at the shop that it was towed to.  New posi carrier, ring and pinion, all new bearings and seals.  I really, really trust the shop and owner Dave.  He told me that the rear will last longer then the rest of Big Olds so I'm very confident.

I received a refund check for the full amount that DTS charged me for rear work in Sept PLUS the full amount for repairs for the damage done to my hood while the car was in their care.  My refund from DTS for the repairs did not cover the complete cost of repairs at Quality Machine in Dayton BUT there was no way I was letting DTS tow my car back to Detroit and fix it themselves (which by law in Michigan is their right) so when they agreed to refund me my money I didn't push my luck asking for more to cover the additional expenses.

I got a ride down to Dayton, OH last Saturday and then drove Big Olds to Nashville, TN and flew home from there.  Big Olds is getting some touch up paint work done, Vintage air/heat/defrost installed and a drop down panel under the dash.  I'll head down every couple of weeks to help with the process and will then pick him up in the spring once it's safe to drive him home without the threat of icy roads.

He'll be better then new in the spring and ready for another 88,000 miles
