• The swing in gas prices is off the charts around here.  Taking
  Dmitry to school I noticed unleaded is $2.65 at the 7-11 on Camp Bowie
  and Horne, then $2.89 at the station across from Tom Thumb at Ridglea
  Ave., $2.83 at the Exxon at the intersection of Camp Bowie and Bryant
  Irvin, and $2.59 at the Shell station at the Montgomery Street exit off
  I-30.

  A 30¢ per gallon swing in the space of a couple of miles!

  Presumably the $2.59 and $2.65 are loss leaders, with the profit coming
  from the coffee and such purchased by customers as their tanks fill.
