Now I do, 80th and Dodge, I kept mentally driving down that stretch and forgot about this one. So it was finally built? I am going to have lunch at B&G's today so I guess I will drive right by it

No, not even started. cdub said it was still in the works.
On a side note.. Tbank god almighty it looks like we are not going to war with Syria.. I was getting the bitter taste of $5 a gallon in my mouth..
Also I am impressed with the 72-120th St Dodge Corridor now.. it also seems like they are busy ripping out any older looking buildings and putting up new stylish ones...one of the most changed things since I've moved back to town..

Don't hold your breath. Kerry says the use of force is "not off the table." Silly for a man who protested the Vietnam war endlessly and is not itching to go to war with Syria.
When fortune smiles on something as violent and ugly as revenge, it seems proof like no other that not only does God exist, you're doing his will.

The place is still an open Jiffy Lube, though the CD Warehouse looks pretty much dead right now.
And the former 7-Eleven, second hand sports store is now a wigs store.

I thought there was a news story a couple weeks ago that they are phasing out the Non-Ethanol low grade and that there would be two choices of ethanol and then premium.

Last time I ran a comparison I got about 2 or 3 mpg better fuel economy with plain gasoline vs. the ethanol bland. That works out to about 30 more miles on a tank of plain gasoline...equal to not having to buy one gallon of fuel each time I fill up. At present prices that saves me about $3.00. But if it costs me 40 cents extra per gallon to fill up with plain gasoline vs. ethanol, and I buy 14 gallons of fuel, x 40 cents a gallon, I pay $5.60 to save $3.00. So now it actually costs me less to buy the gas that gets me lower fuel economy. That is just wrong.

When I got the new car (a couple of years ago) I did a very unscientific mileage study with a couple of tanks of so-called regular and a couple of tanks of so-called mid-grade (with alcohol). If there was any benefit of either it was buried in the noise. The sales guy (ObJoke: How to you tell if a car salesman is lying?) said to use whatever was cheaper at the time. The guy at the garage I go to (Paul's) said it should run equally well on either no-alcohol so-called regular or E-10 so-called mid-grade and it does.
When I was looking for a car, one of the models I liked required premium so I scratched that one. Another the sales guy "suggested" premium but said it should run ok with regular. I scratched that one too. All of these, including the one I finally bought, were at the same dealer family and the same sales guy drove me from lot to lot and could sell any of them.
I just don't want to see fuel prices start to run up again.
It's best to read your manual. If your car doesn't require high octane gasoline, don't bother buying it. You're wasting your money. Some cars like those with superchargers and turbochargers mnay times need premium because of the way forced air induction works.
I have a 2006 Chevy Coloroado pickup. I log every tank of gas I fill in a book in the truck. I rairly fill it until it is less than 1/4 of a tank. I usually use E10 but when I do not I note it and have a pretty good sampleing over a few years. On Average I get about 1/2 - 3/4 MPG less with E10 than with non E fuel. I know that is not the case for everone but I feel comfortable that is is accurate for my truck.
For the record NEBUGEATER does not equal BUGEATER !!!!!!!
I finally made the switch to ethanol due to the large price difference of 30 cents per gallon. I used to run regular and, similar to native, got about 3 mpg better. It made sense when it was only .07-.10 more expensive, but not with the current prices. I don't like being forced to use ethanol, but the way it's going I may not have a choice.
I filled up at $2.79 the other day, but $2.89 seems the norm this week, but driving by Creighton on Cuming the other day, I saw $3.29, and then yesterday I saw $3.59 and people actually fining up. WTH...?

I bet there is a decent parentage of the population that doesn't even pay attention to the price. Fuel light comes on and 30 miles later they are pulling in to the closest gas station...
That station by Creighton has to be one of the highest in the city! I pass that every time I go to the airport and wonder why anyone would pay that price.
Over the past few days there seems to be a mini-spike in pump prices. Crude prices remain stable, and nobody seems to know for sure what caused the spike except that most of the dealers are unusually cohesive about the two most recent price jumps.
There was a story on the news last night about the 20 cent increase. They said Omaha was finally catching up to other areas around here that have been 20 cents higher for a few days.
Maybe I have missed their entry into the market, but how long has Mega Saver been here? Are they the same as Tobacco and Phones for Less? I saw one on North Saddle Creek and another on 108 & Maple...
