Gas right now 100 miles away in Birmingham Al is anywhere from 1.64 to 1.71 a gal. However at home in this area its anywhere from 1.71 to 1.85 a gal. Its almost worth a drive of a 100 miles to fill up. I just may have to carry some fuel cans on my trip back up there next week, or I won't be able to afford to cut my grass! So far I have been averaging about 6 hours run time on a tank of gas in my JD GX335, and thats with minimal use of the mower deck, just using it for odds and ends around the house, and what mowing I have done this year is relatively light so far as the good grass growing weather is not quite fully kicked in.
