Price spike..

Hardly a surprise other than why it took this long. I'm seeing $3.29 at a lot of stations, but a few seem to be lagging. We topped off both our personal cars last night and I filled the company car this morning for $3.09 so our timing appears to have been good.... This time.

I still haven't heard back from Jman83 regarding what problems he sees with my favorites list, but he's a busy guy. What I'd like to do is to be able to post a list on the http://springfieldgas.googlepages.com site with "approved" addresses for most of the stations around town so it can be used as a reference by others once we really figure out what's satisfactory.

Of course, one problem with that is that almost nobody knows about the site. The other ongoing problem is that new folks to posting prices haven't read the posting guidelines as they are not particularly visible. The guidelines are great, but there are exceptions and interpretations. A true MSL, if it could be implemented, whereby it's a pull-down menu, or a Master Favorites List (MFL) so nobody free-hands locations, is the ideal, but it's just not going to happen any time soon.
