Regular? Here in Billings, Montana, we sport the area's most expensive
petrol at a city uniform 133.9 for unleaded. Oddly enough, they make the
stuff right here. Exxon, Conoco, and the Cenex refineries help Billings keep
their title as the SO2 leader of all the cities in the United States.
Meanwhile, petrol is cheaper in the outlying cities where they truck it.
Elsewhere in Montana, petrol sells for about 125-126 per gallon, and 120
miles to the south in Sheridan, Wyoming it is 110.9.
But it did jump a week or two ago. It went up six or seven cents. A little
early, as they always raise prices by Memorial Day weekend at the end of May
when the tourist season begins.
