I guess you missed the part where traffic was picking up, right. I even picked a left leaning publication. Your info was yesterday’s news. Mine was today’s. Business is picking up.

 

Maybe now that the US surrendered by removing all sanctions on Iranian oil, things will begin to pick up. That would be good for global oil supply and pricing, but appears to do little to accomplish any of the stated goals.

$3.69 for 87.

 

$4.09 for Diesel. Same thing though, a few cities away or even into Wisconsin it's $5.00 a gallon still and they all get it from the same damn place.

Yep, same here. Gas can be a buck cheaper in other parts of the state here, same taxes. These companies price-gouge in the more populated areas and they get away with it.

 

87 is down to $5.29 locally. Gee, sure seems to come down a lot more slowly than it goes up...

Saw $3.56 on the hi-way this am

[txab]

$3.01 at one location

On a separate note... anyone had the experience while filling up and another customer finds the fake "scam screw" on their pump and they freak out, screaming at the attendant? Pure BS. Still too many many gullible people out there. The guy today made me want to hose him with gasoline and set him on fire.

87 octane for $3.56 today.

 

Diesel at one place hit $3.99 today too.

[Coastie05]

$3.69 at the local Exxon station. 

[diyer2]

$4.25 85 oct. in town, down 50 cents.

I've heard of a scam screw on a gas pump (holds the credit card transaction by not allowing the shutoff lever to be fully seated) but I'm not sure what a "fake" scam screw is.

The whole story is false. The screw is there as a temporary fix to allow the pump to even turn on. When the nozzle is returned the pump shuts off.. At this point people are just being punked

LOL!! Truth be told I've only "heard" of the scam screw, but I think this means I can stop looking for a screw sticking out somewhere to keep the pump handle from either seating or shutting off the pump / closing the transaction. I was looking for anything at the pumps with the lift handle at the bottom where you have to flip it up to begin pumping gas.

 

 

I mean, we're getting screwed at the pump anyway...

The easy solution is to always get a recipe. Then you know you completed the sale. I sure you know that.
