Local church sells gas for $2.42/gallon!

[EagerBeaver]

From today's Springfield News-Leader (my employer):

In an effort to help the community deal with high gas prices, North Point Church sold gas for $2.42 a gallon starting at 10 a.m. today at the Autotronics and Conoco Food Shop at Chestnut Expressway and Benton Avenue.

I shot the video for the report, featuring narratives from NPC Pastor Tommy Sparger and some folks who lined up to fill up...you can check that out on my website.

Yeah, I am now driving an Acura that requires supreme fuel. $3.82 here and even my modest salary is gonna be taking a hit.

That is a cool story Chris! We are paying over $4 a gallon for Premium for the Cadillac right now.

Thanks! How is the gas mileage on the caddy?

[EagerBeaver]

Oh and I might add that church leaders extended the fill-up from 52 minutes (52 because that is part of their 52 Unforgettable Sundays per year campaign) to as long as the gas was still in the ground. I think they pumped 5000 gallons and the church made up the difference of 5 G's.

Your welcome! I'm getting about 23 around town, 28 on highway. Not too bad.

Could be worse. The Tundra here gets 17 and 19 and doubles as a work truck.

I really hate to "rub it in," but even with my lead foot and radar back-up I get 28+ in the city, and well into the 30s on the open road.
