Got a full tank of gas for $23.00
« on: December 04, 2008, 06:31:28 AM »
Last night when I was leaving work, it was dark, I realized that my gas light was on. I was almost completely empty and apparently did not notice the light in the day time. When gas was soaring I kept the tank full most of the time since one fill-up cost me like $55.00, but since the price has fallen I sorta quit paying attention.
Anyway, I pulled to the pump, started pumping gas while I was talking on my phone.... was a distracting chick... and then the nozel clicked. I looked and it said $22.94, so I figured the pump stopped prematurely (hate when that happens  ;D) but when I pulled the lever again it stopped immediately. I was shocked to see gas at $1.61 a gallon.

Funny thing is I got pissed because I thought to myself, did we find a major new pocket of oil in the US?? I mean wtf was all this crap when the economy headed to china?
Say what you want but I bet Exxon has another banner year for profit...... rat bastards!!  :Xo!

I filled mine up this morning for $24.00.  I was almost on E.  Feels good to not drop $50 bucks a fill up.  Why the drop?  Dunno, they would just lie to you if you asked them.

I've been under $30 lately (93 octane). The really nice part is I can go back to driving my car like I stole it.
