not gonna do the exact math, but a lady called the radio station at approx 7:40am (about 5 minutes after I left the gas station, and no, I didnt wait for gas, just went in to grab my morning coffee and mid day lotto tickets), she said she just left and was in line since 5:40 (20 minutes before the promo started). So that\' about 2 hours wait. Definitely not worth it. I talked to the owners wife when I was inside, she laughed when I answered her you\'re not getting gas comment with "C\'mon Lin, I\'m not a **** idiot". Then she wanted to know why I was working for FedEx and didn\'t come back to work there.

i drive from hamden to westbrook everyday back and forth with an SVU.  I spend AT LEAST $100 or more a week on gas just to go to work.

Right now, I am banging my head against the wall for buying an SVU.

4 bucks a gallon? My heart bleeds for you. Here in the UK, we are currently paying at least ?5 - that\'s $10 to you.

Yeah, but is that per liter or gallon?

was wondering the same thing from what I understood gas overseas is way more expensive because it\'s by the liter.

they partially do it to promote public transportation and the conservation of fossil fuels.... you figure if you make gas that damn expensive people will def. use less and find other ways to get to where they need to go

meh.

i went for a bike ride instead this morning.. rode by there on my way out (went down grannis and left onto north high).. didn\'t get a good look at the line, but the place was definitely jammin\', and there were a bunch of cops directing traffic.

on my way back, i went the long way - the length of north high street, around to laurel. the line was close to 1/2 mile long (around 7:20am), and stretched all the way to the beginning of the army practice field thingy:



someone who wants to do math could probably figure out how long (time) the line was (average car length, number of pumps, average fill-up time)...

no thanks.

filled up for $3.39/gal on the way to work. :banana:

but it took me 5 minutes.

nice view of lake hubi.

Sorry guys, but I am an old git! Price is of course per gallon - still can\'t be doing with all this metric sh*te.

And yes, most of it is on tax, but ou rpublic transport is still rubbish!

Gas prices cause so much irrational consumer behavior:  driving 15 minutes out of the way to save 4 cents a gallon on a 15-gallon tank, for example.  People buy cars that are $60,000 yet make half that a year and then worry about gas....It\'s ridiculous.....Recklessly racking up credit card debt by the 5 digits then worrying about gas......
