Live from Old Bridge Township-NHRA Lucas Oil Series

Hi kids -- Believe it or not its 3:45 and there are 21 rows of trailors waiting to get in @ 4pm .I left early enough but had many stops on the way here and am now stuck in row 17 .As you'll see from my pics fuel prices are up even at the discount stations .Another stop I made at a mall on route 18 was for groceries and I wanted to get some new shoes but ended up with nothing .Further down the road I found a Pathmark and picked up all the staples needed for the weekend but no shoes .Some plans never work out .

This afternoon is parking only so in an hour or two everyone will surely be bored .Weather ? ? Warm and a little muggy ........I'm goin' out for a little air .......later.

Jack, last week on my way to Indy, prices in Michigan Illinois and Indiana were all close 3.99 to 4.13 a gallon. Looks like a bargain in your end. Good Luck this week-end. Claude

Finally running the "tree-killer"? That's gotta be toward the top of the GTX John stories...and of course there's a million, a few he can even share!

Sorry about running over your thread Jack, I've done a lot of traveling this year and it never ceases to amaze me how the West Coast consistently runs higher than other areas (yes, exceptions like Chicago and such on the high end and South Carolina in general on the low end) because for the most part fuel is priced very close everywhere more so than I've ever seen.

Cash price & credit price..............

Diesel fuel at the truck stops (T/A, Loves etc.).....

Credit Price = $4.55 a gallon for diesel....

$3.85 a gallon. That’s chump change

Jack - if its shoes that you are looking for, if you would have gone further down the highway, and up route 9, you would have reached the DSW Warehouse - they have everything from stillettos to shoes with sequins - oh yeah, they also carry shoes for guys
