Hmm, cheapest around here is $1.46 (and, I'm thrilled!!). I did see one station selling at $1.99, and figure they're either gouging, or closed.
I put gas in my car yesterday, and not only did $15 fill the tank (it's a small car), but a very interesting thing happened - since I was freezing, I was anxiously watching the numbers spin, and you know how it slows down when it gets to about 20 cents from the prepaid total? Well, this time the money meter would top for a second - but the fuel meter kept going! Then it would advance one penny and pause, but the gas kept flowing. When was the last time you saw that?!
