Juyst very weird at the moment.

BJ's over the weekend went up to $3.41 and then $3.43.

The Gulf opposite went up to $3.60 and now today down to $3.56

The Cumberlands is the next cheapest by quite a margin at $3.46 and most places hovering over the $3.50-3.55 mark.

Oooh...good luck! Is that the town that blew up a couple years ago or am I thinking of Danvers?

Anyway, you'd be a short hop away from Lowell, which is shit, but they do have a awesome summer series of concerts every Saturday I think it is on the town green...and some nice country roads up to Exeter, NH, which has a great town market as well as quite a lot of footie in the area if you're interested

Love me some footie so that is a bonus. We like the Dracut side as it is very Rural and kind of makes me feel at home. Lowell is shite from everything i have read, but thankfully Dracut seems to score highly on certain data sites such as neighbourhood scout.

My colleague tells me it was Danvers that blew up

I can never remember as it was just off either 495 or 95 and all those D towns, much like the W's, they all blend together

You want a shithole though, a snip over to the left for Leominster and the crack, or a snip to the right and Lawrence, Lawrence is just a hole

Lowell has some cool architecture and bars and very little else, but you're pretty close to a load of nice orchards and the like.

Lovely little area

Seems to be getting crazy lately.

Over the course of a few days, BJ's have gone from $3.52 to $3.59, but down the street, the Cumbies, the next cheapest by miles have gone from $3.55 to $3.69.

The Gulf across the street as gone from $3.59 to $3.79

I know a few folks who go, but I've moved a little further out in the burbs so don't...they do arrange a lot of fun stuff though for sporting events, Christmas, etc, etc.

Good bunch a lot of them I'd say.

I paid 4.0something a few days ago at the local shell when I had to fill up the Miata on the way to work. Mind you, at 31-33mpg it doesn't hurt quite as badly as filling up the winter beater Jeep that gets 13mpg on a very good day.

It's well over $4.00 here - $4.45 at one place, and it was heaving.
