Funny (in a sad way) how $4.89/gallon for 100LL seem like a bargain these days. :-)
Fuel is still $5.60 at both FBOs on my field (Independence, OR). Wholesale prices have dropped but I suspect they need to use up the stock they bought at higher prices earlier in the year. Fortunately, my O235 Long-EZ is economical (5 gal/hr): I feel nowhere near the pain that my neighbors do when they fuel their Bonanzas.
Looking forward to some of that "bargain" 100LL when I go cross-country to southern California later next month.

Yeah, I fuel one tank with mogas at Lebanon when I go cross-country. But I can't use it for local flights (low altitude, high manifold pressure) due to my engine's 9.7:1 pistons.
If you're a regular at Lebanon, you'll know Tebo. Sadly, he was killed the other day: http://lebanon-express.com/news/local/two-men-die-in-plane-crash-near-crabtree/article_0bd6df14-65c0-53e8-9471-239ea0d17a13.html (http://lebanon-express.com/news/local/two-men-die-in-plane-crash-near-crabtree/article_0bd6df14-65c0-53e8-9471-239ea0d17a13.html)
