[AT] OT; Gasoline prices + on topic socket question

[Dean VP]

Just returned from an 11 day trip to Oregon and back. Lowest price for
Diesel was $2.53 at Safeway in Oregon, no less, with the Safeway Club Card
$0.03 discount. Typical was $2.69 to $2.79. Had a credit card purchase limit
out at $75.00 and didn't completely fill the tank. Disgusting! But mileage
pulling a 20' trailer empty was 16 plus MPG so I'm not complaining all that
much.  

Somehow a bunch of parts (over 1000 lbs) jumped into the truck bed and a
6,000 lb tractor jumped on the trailer on the return trip. 20 mph headwinds
and in a heavy downpour. Rain, snow, sleet, hail and anything else one can
imagine. Won't talk about the mileage on the loaded return trip!  :-)
Tractor is a lot cleaner now. Probably cleaner inside too.  :-) Wonder how
many gallons of water I picked up in the transmission and rear end?

Those of us lucky enough to be on the West Coast are blessed with a lack of 
competition in the fuel market. The local prices vary between $2.55 and 
$2.96 per gallon depending on where and which brand.... In the Bay Area it 
has topped $3 in a few places. California diesel prices are higher than 
gasoline prices and are the highest in the nation (hemisphere?). This is due

to several factors, but the shutdown of refineries to maximize profits plays

an interesting part.

p.s. I am looking for a 7/8" four or eight point socket to use. Does anyone 
know if they are still sold anywhere?
