Filled up for $1.66 today and E85 was .66  |

I am going to have to try some! A gas station in the ghetto a few miles away has it.

I saw a station selling unleaded for two dollars a gallon and diesel for $3.40. I had just watched prices go from $2 to $2.50 and then suddenly back down to two as I drove through Phoenix. Phoenix Gas Prices - Find Cheap Gas Prices in Arizona shows twelve places selling for $1.879.
It shows two stations at $2.79! Diesel ranges from $2.399 to $3.899!
http://www.altfuelprices.com/station...izona/Phoenix/ shows three E85 operating stations in my area, starting at $2.689. |

Yes.
If you have a gas guzzler you want to get rid of, better do it now.
Plus if you have been thinking about adding a fuel efficient car to your fleet, it seems like people are giving them away.

I wish that were true in the PNW. I've had my eye on a Prius or Leaf for over a year, and nobody on CL will let one go for a reasonable price... I wonder how much for a used Tesla? |
