What are you paying for a gallon of Premium?

Just a quick lil news update, all the major financial firms have increased their exposure to oil, forecasting 2008 oil prices or above per barrel. Basically, we are all screwed

Just a quick lil news update, all the major financial firms have increased their exposure to oil, forecasting 2008 oil prices or above per barrel. Basically, we are all screwed and will most likely see 2008 gas prices or worse. Here is the article

Just filled up at $3.79 for 93 in ATX.

Nismoracer, that kind of business practice is illegal. If they are truly doing as you say without notice, you should report them to the Better Business Bureau immediately (United States and Canada BBB Consumer and Business Reviews, Reports, Ratings, Complaints and Accredited Business Listings).

$4.19 for 91 in Malibu CA. That is still way off my record: when gas prices peaked in '08, I remember one time filling my Saab up with 93 that cost $6.71 a gallon lol.

I was thinking wait a min shouldn't I have gotten a little more gas for that amount of money. Sure enough, I went and told the attendant hey this meter charged me more than the pump price and then they hit me and said it's more if you use your card. Uh don't you think you should put some signs up saying that.
I don't know if that's legal or not, but the station is doing that to offset the cost of paying the major credit card companies their fees. They typically spend thousands of dollars a month paying for fees so you can use those cards at the station.

They don't do that here in MN. You might want to check with your Attorney General website and see if that's an issue.
