Geocache Description:



CACHE IS LOCATED AT 44°AB.CDE 88°FG.HIJ

The cost of gas just keeps climbing and the effects on our daily disposable income are being felt by everyone, especially by us geocachers. It makes you harken back to and hanker for the days when gas was a mere 25 cents a gallon and when, in the summer, the local price wars would get it down to 15!

Well that's what this cache is about. When you get to the posted coordinates you will see a line of fossil fuelers, many of them with some pretty incredible prices still showing in the windows.

You just need to figure out these clues to find the final:

The last fueler on this pump must have only had a 5 spot, but still managed to get AE.I gallons of gas at .BB/gallon.
The last one on this pump must have gotten the firehouse special, for $5.76 they got HC gallons of gas! That's more like D.G cents a gallon, not the 30.9 cents a gallon that shows in the price window.
One of these pumps is quite a different color than the rest and also a bit pricer with gas at GJ cents a gallon.
And lastly, the rustiest and Eriest one of the bunch is all but indiscernable except the two 6 digit windows, the first of which starts with a F Pump removed And lastly, the most recent addition to this collection is certainly obvious, not only by its shape, but also by it's fuel price, $F a gallon.

UPDATE: 10.13.08 Clue for F updated - original pump removed.
