Gas Prices Across the Country

"Hi, Linda! I just wanted to let you, and others, know what the price of gasoline in North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, etc., was last week (2-10 Aug 06). We traveled 3400 miles to Minot, ND, and Glasgow, MT. We saw gas prices range from $2.959 up to $3.169. The highest being in ND and MT. Ethanol was cheaper than Unleaded Regular which was a switch from here in NE Kansas. Right now ethanol is back under the price of Unl Reg and road Diesel is $3.419. Someone pointed out the other day that everyone above the farmer can tack on a fuel surcharge, but the farmer has no one to 'mus-up'! Can't you imagine what would happen if the farmer took his products (grain, animals, etc.) to the market and said, 'Oh, by the way, there will be a $2.00 per ton/head fuel surcharge on this delivery.' He would hear the biggest laugh ever. Over the past two days or so we have had close to two inches of rain, most coming nice and easy here, though nearby that has not been the case. Attached is a photo of the plaza at the Scandinavian Heritage Association's park in Minot, ND. It is even prettier than the photo shows. Cheers and keep up the good work." -- Jim Bradley, Westmoreland, KS   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
