I dunno I'm near a bunch of good places to eat and I can take the metro to work everyday. Utilities are cheaper than the northeast and rent is about the same, otherwise it's new england with more humidity. Sorry you're raging against whatever it is.

Did fuel prices drop overnight or something? Last time I paid attention, I think it was about $3.40 or so for 93 octane, but sure as poo poo, I paid $2.77 a few days ago.

It went from like 2.09 to 2.27 for regular here. Glad I bought it this morning on my way in to work.

That's because outside of Arlington, no county in NOVA believes in urban planning and thus has devolved into a suburban sprawl hellscape occupied mostly by teaparty republicans that unironically work either for the federal government or federal contractors.

That's great but it's still been a thing for at least half a century, probably longer. One of my vehicles has a high enough CR I have to buy it. The other gets 87 like it should.

To clarify, I don't think that higher octane fuel is bullshit, but calling it premium and charging for THAT is bullshit.

OMFG PTSD LOL PBUH
Sep 9, 2001
We trade coon skins not opossum (Plebe.) skins, and they're two scheckels to a coon skin, $14.88 per scheckel. All foreign exchanges take place in coon skins or scheckels only. We don't devalue the dollar by pegging to more volatile bellwethers.

Compute from there, smarmy upside down land kiwi.

I think that MBAs are useful, in case you are looking for an answer to the question of "Is lightpole a total fucking idiot".
The real scam is branded gasoline. Chevron has the exact same stuff as whatever corner gas station.

Plus the octane is listed on the pump when you select it. If you are so dumb as to pick premium just because you think there's more magic in it there's a good chance you would just waste that money on magic beans instead.
