Yaaa, how come diesel always used to be cheaper than gas, and now it's not? And double how come #2 heating oil was always cheaper than diesel (no taxes on it), but now it's usualy not!!

General average of a barrel of oil: 1/3 gas, 1/3 jet fuel, 1/3 heating oil.

Like everyone I'm glad to see gas prices down, but I'm not happy about it. They stuff a broomstick 5 feet up your butt, and when they pull it out 6 inches we're supposed to be happy?

Whoo--What were you doing in the Hershey area? I'm very close to that area. That is a long haul.

Checking gas buddy.com

gas in some of the Harrisburg /Hershey Area is down to $2.75 a gallon.
And, just to rub it in, I picked up coal for $155 a ton a week ago!

Hi, where in lebenon thats 5 miles from me...I was going to buy from downeast where I ordered my stove (supposed to be in by end of oct) my local hardware store sells 2500lb pallet bagged nut or pea for 325-350 picked up in waterboro or buxton or limerick stores...but they don't sell rice(boo) I was going to buy 5 pallets too bad for them.

Have you called Paris Farm in Newport, Maine? I've heard they have fair prices on coal.

Catdog,
Lebanon Coal is located on the Hubbard Road in Lebanon Maine. Take a left off of 202 if you are coming down from Waterboro. I just paid 295 / ton for loose nut. Bagged will be a bit more. About 1 1/2 miles down on the left hand side. Call ahead for price and time to pick up.
