Gas Parity
Not long ago Lincolnites were pitching a fit about how much cheaper gas was in Omaha than in Lincoln. You could often fill your tank for at least ten cents per gallon less in Omaha than in Lincoln, and frequently for 15 or 20 cents less. Having made several trips to Omaha recently I’ve noticed that prices are now more or less equal. The price near my house is the same as the price at the stations I passed in Omaha. And am I mistaken, or is there less price disparity between north and south Lincoln right now?
Speaking of gas, I just realized I forgot to fill up my wife’s car after all but emptying the tank. I hate it when that happens.

Hop on over to Iowa… the gas is always greener over there
(Seriously, it’s about 10-20 cents cheaper in Iowa).

That’s your compensation for having to live there.

at 8401 West O Street, it’s $2.29/2.39. Don’t know about the rest of the city.

Pretty much right around there.
