But you can't be a good global citizen if you do that! (Read the following in a sarcastic tone for full impact) Besides, it's just not fair that Americans pay so little for gas! We ought to be more like Europe- and have to pay $3 a quart for gas instead of complaining about paying $4 for a whole gallon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calamity Kris Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 I was leaving Costco yesterday and the employees were whispering between themselves about the gas prices. The word got out that everyone better fill up after work or on their breaks because the prices were going up overnight. If I didn't have somewhere to be, I would have sat in the half a block long line (This Costco has 18 pumps) and topped my tank off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised I haven't spotted any with Emperor Newsom yet, since our prices seem to run about a buck a gallon above the national average. I just ordered some, and plan to install them every time I have to go to the gas pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye Miles #13621 Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 You could always just get $25.00 worth everytime you fill up! It won't feel like your spending so much! You'll just get gas more often! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pumped $90.00 and the pump shut off before my tank was full. When I took the job an hour away I could fill my tank for $45.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made my own today. Went to Sams today for other items and decided to get fuel. They had cones set up to create lines to the pumps and had neglected to realize that about 80% of vehicles have the fuel filler on the left side. This, along with idiots that have no idea which side of the car the fuel filler is on, led to people pulling up, stopping, going through the Sams card/credit card/zip code/confirm/card removal/put it back in their purse or wallet/try to get the hose to reach (it doesn't)/move forward to turn around and back in. Meanwhile, as soon as you got in line...you were blocked in...to get out would have meant parting the Red Seas of other vehicles waiting in line. Oh, back to the sign. While in line, I took a sticky note (caution yellow) and wrote THANKS BRANDON (with an arrow pointed to the left) IDIOT. I knew it wasn't going to stick, so I retrieved some painters tape from the rear of the truck and pre-taped the top and bottom. As soon as I locked the nozzle trigger, I taped the pre-made sign to the right of the read out. Don't know how long it remained there, but it made me feel better. FWIW - $3.78 for regular.

Didn't happen folks. "Big Oil" supported by right thinking fans of big business decided it's a good time to "take Profit." Get Over yourselves. Wrong. Before Biden took office, we were energy independent. We had so much surplus oil and gas that we were selling it to other countries. We were the world's LARGEST exporter of the stuff. Now, we are begging the Arabs to produce more, not allowing domestic production, and held hostage to events in other parts of the world. Biden DID do that.

If they are like the pumps at Costco the hoses are long enough to reach the left side of most pickups even when pulled up right side to the pump. Not sure about the current huge pickups that need an extension ladder to climb into the cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about the current huge pickups that need an extension ladder to climb into the cab. Nope, short hoses. No matter how close you to the pump you could park, there's no way the hose would reach to the other side unless you had a Mini Cooper or something like it.
