TU has always hated me. Even when I had all scores in the 700s, TU's was always the lowest. I wish I could borrow a few points from EQ to give to TU. )

I seem to be permanently on EQ's fecal chart. My only baddies are lates --no collections, etc --and EQ seems to get much more excited about them than do EX and TU. EX is always my highest. Too bad I have to wait 3 more months for a late to age before I can use it on something!

I lived in Texas since 1983 I wish the utility company here did report since I was never late with them and not to mention that it would have been the oldest account on my CR since I lost my 1979 JCP card in the DMP when it was PIF and closed.

I do have a vintage 1984 Chevron card that has a 0 balance and never late.  My pride and joy.  After 2 billing cycles, I will use it to buy 1 tank of gas which I hope will be under 10% of my 2400 CL.

Could be a near thing! Oil hit $100/ bbl today, and the local gas prices went up 18 cents/ gal while I was at work. (And yep, I need to fill up. sigh)

Where did the "beep" come from.  I  thought I typed "it"  I hope I didnt fat finger anything.

I just filled up as well.  Gas was $2.89.  It was $2.77 last week.

Nice.  We were paying 3.05 last week and we're not typically high!

NYC here.  Can't remember the last time gas was under 3.25.

dragracer,

I live in Michigan and, DTE is my natural gas supplier. They began reporting to all 3 CRA's in June 2006 (approx.). The category under which it falls is "other". From what I see it does not effect utilization, and it's a continually updated number each month. Your current statement balance is what's reported. While I haven't been able to identify a down side to this I haven't been able to find an upside either, other than an aging tradeline.
