Most motorists are feeling the pain as gasoline creeps toward $3 a gallon – but not Art Altrichter. “This feels pretty good!” Altrichter said as he filled the tank of his Ford F-150 pickup for $2.03 a gallon this week, when the average was $2.73. “Right now, to be a few pennies over $2, when it’s as high as it is? That’s a real deal.” How is this possible? A year ago bought 500 gallons of gas, locking it in at $2.03 per gallon. Altrichter said one of his neighbors got in at First Fuel Banks several years ago and is now is withdrawing from a reserve that cost him 99 cents a gallon. “How about that!” he said.
