• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

Gas prices!

A silly diversion perhaps, but some of us can use a diversion right now. :ganz


In Springfield, Missouri I just saw $1.74 [per gallon] as the lowest price I have seen so far.

This popped up on my iPad when I woke up today: "Gasoline hits 99 cents at Kentucky station, sells out."

That's cheaper than 1985! I remember watching a Tears for Fears retrospective in 2012 when Hurricane Isaac pushed gas prices upward and freeze-framing "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" for the flashback to '80s-era gas prices:

I may go out Sunday or early in the week with my 5 x 5-gallon jerry cans to start my personal SPR. :hmm

Still close to $4.00 in CA for premium. It will never change here. Never. Meanwhile, doctors are wearing garbage bags to treat Covid patients in Sacramento. (State Capital, by the way) You tell me where my money goes. One thing’s for certain, it ain’t Les Paul’s!

$0.779 per litre, here.

The savings it has brought me are being squandered on Charmin.
