I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated.

This morning, I pulled into the Kanku's at the corner of Dodds & 23rd because I needed gas and was pleased to see $3.49 advertised as the price. I had nearly filled my tank when I saw a sticker saying "100% pure gasoline" over the yellow 87-octane slot in the center, from which the fuel was pumping into my car. 100% gasoline is better than ethanol, I suppose, though I've never noticed any particular difference. Today, however, I did notice a difference. The "pure" gasoline is $3.69 a gallon, and the cheap stuff that I was going for was behind a red 87-octane card on the far right, where the premium stuff usually comes from. I was NOT happy at all. See illustration:  This is the first time I've encountered this, but you can bet I'll be much more observant in the future. Just a heads-up that some stations are pulling this kind of crap. Don't let it happen to you. |

Midinght oil does the same thing. The gas in the pipeline right now cost stations on average. 3.22 a gallon. Expect a 75 cent decrease over the next few weeks..

On a brighter note, if you're in wal-mart and plan on buying gas before you leave the property, buy a gift card.
if you buy gas with a gift card its normally 3 cents cheaper, right now they're having a "roll back" so gas is 10 cents cheaper. Doesn't help much but every penny and all that.

It's called attention to detail.
