I just had to make a topics about this.  Why? Because I can! But seriously I was driving this weekend and noticing that some places had lowered the price some which is good.  Gas has become $3.07 a gallon where I live.  I started driving over 10 years ago and when I started it was like $1.27 something like that.  More then doubled in price in 10 years.

So this past weekend we come to an area and the prices are $2.99 a gallon.  But this one place had their price set to $3.23 and had a guy with a sign outside saying TODAY GET .25 cents off!  Honestly what a freaking gimic! I was so mad off.  I find that kind of thing to be so unethical.  I mean I can see it from a business perspective that it's a good marketing ploy to get people to come.  But really they jack the price up and make it look extra special.  Despite that in the end it was .02 cents less I didn't go there because I just don't like how people try to take advantage of others with such schemes. -_-

Good job on not supporting the scheme.

It's been close to $2.79 here for a while.

I hate rising gas prices myself, there's a similar scheme going on at a gas station that I go to, but due to the price of gas, I end up getting it there, due to the many other places that charge more. It's sad really, and sick of the oil industry to go and rip so many people off.

I didn't want to fall for it, but hey -- in the end, that's life.
