Of their money. I had a part time job at a Speedway station and learned that.
By the way, stay away from Speedway, they set the local prices on gas.
Go to a local party store or Independent drug store.

But I think Kwik Trip is a regional company, so there may not be any in your area.

(14,276 posts)Now gimme the car, NOW. Why should I have to wait. If you're that much good in God's eyes, he will get you a new Mercedes in a week or so. So gimme the one you got. I can afford the sensor myself. I'll even go to pick it up myself. You don't have to deliver it.

(35,888 posts)10% of my drives. I also increase my gas saving driving habits, like slowing down much earlier for lights and stop signs. Instead of driving 5 under the speed limit, I go to 10 under. At a rest area, a guy came over to me and ask hey buddy, do you know what the speed limit is. I said yes I do, do you know what the minimum speed limit is? Left him speechless.

Not planning on doing much travel so I hope I'll be good for a while.

(14,461 posts)People tend not to conserve gas with their driving habits, and make fuel economy a lower priority when choosing their next car.
Of all the inflationary effects The Felon has and will have on the economy, more expensive gas concerns me the least -- except for lower income people who have to drive a long way to work.

(28,519 posts)so does the price of everything we buy. $100/barrel oil is just around the corner. I don't think that Iran will close off the Strait of Hormuz, but it will target certain oil tankers. China is Iran's #1 customer so Iran is going to want to keep selling oil to them.
We have our 5th Fleet stationed in the Persian Gulf just to keep shipping lanes open, with that said, there will be disruptions.

The fossil fuel industry is a big part of this country's problems, just wait until Krasnov gives our land away to them, unregulated.

(28,454 posts)I can handle the end oworld thing. Ive got that part covered, being all saved and faithy like I am. Its so unfair to be majorly inconvenienced until the rapture actually happens, however. I was assured a swift, peaceful flight to heaven as I look back, singing adios, suckahs! So unfair. Im gonna complain to the management.
