Default WTF!!!! these gas prices are ****ing crazy!!!!

Pulled up at a gas station this morning. Stuck my card in , and starting pumping gas into the Z. I wasn't even looking at the price at first, then I glance at the price. $3.05 WHAT THE ****!!!!!!!!! CLICK!, SCREW!, VROOOOOM!!!!!! "Hello 911". Operator - "Yes sir, what is the nature of your call". I was robbed at the shell gas station on Rt. 1. Operator-"Can you describe the suspect". Yes, he was about 5' 5" , Shell written across his chest, I think he also known as V-power, has one arm that sputes out gasoline. Operator- "Is this suspect a gas pump , sir, Hahaha". Yes mam!!!!! Operator- "have a nice day sir." me- "BUT!!!!"


I was ****ing pissed off, what the hell!!!! What's you opinion on these prices guys???

on base it sat at $2.55, so i went and topped off -- on the way home i saw $3.09 (right next to a $3.34, incidentally, hahaha), $3.19, and up...

in the great words of that dude who narrates all those funny flash cartoons you see around the internet: "WTF, mate?"

yeah, i'm almost thankful that the Z is in the shop and I haven't paid for gas in 3 weeks. I think that I'll just park it in my garage when I get it back until prices come down a bit. Thankfully I take the metro just about everywhere.
