Hope your day went this well.

I know this is not what everyone is likely to see near them, but this is the surprise I found when I went to fill up yesterday. And the Chevron next door to that.

A gal!? Sheesh, im paying that per litre.

 

[robertk]

Yeah. not here. I doubt we'll ever see gas under $2 a gallon again.

 

[Blackfoot58]

We’re at $2.45/gal.

 

[Limitool]

Hell I remember the "shock" when the price of a gallon started to go up last century and was approaching $0.50. Damn near DOUBLE from where I started....!!!!

Now $13+ for a 12-pack of “normal” beer, $4/loaf on white bread, etc.
I started chewing Skoal around 1970: 25 cents per can. I quit several years ago. I don’t know the current price, but well over $5.

Looks like a price war with the other station. Most of their profit comes from walk in purchases so got to lure them over.

Regular unleaded is about $3.30 a gal here......too damn much!

Yeah buddy, well over $5. The county has an 80% tax on tobacco, plus different towns in the county have their own little tax, so $18 a can here in Frisco. But you're right, 25 cents a can late 60's, no ID required, haha!

A little under 3 dollars here in Melbourne, FL.

Yeah same here on eggs. More for cage free, but being I don't think a chicken really knows it's in a cage I'll just buy the lesser priced eggs.

I lease a farm for my horses. When we drive down the lane to the farm (TWICE A DAY) the people that live at the start of the drive have maybe 30 or so chickens . We almost always have to stop and wait for them to get out of the road.

That's nuts -- that's nearly 50 cents per egg! I haven't bought eggs in ages (chickens provide plenty), though the cost of feed has certainly gone up.

Unfortunately, "cage free" doesn't necessarily mean anything. They can be in a giant barn and not be in a cage and carry the "cage free" label even if they never saw a ray of sunshine in their life. So you're right, no sense paying more.

True free range is the way to go -- where the chickens had sunshine and access to natural diet and exercise. They may not know the difference, but the eggs do. But yeah, expensive at the store.

Here's a couple of photos I took a while back. Grocery store "cage free" egg on the left, one of our home-raised free range eggs on the right. The grocery store egg seems downright anemic by comparison. (And all that runny white in the pan is from the grocery store egg. )

I’ve seen signs for “free range eggs”!
Chickens, ok, but do the eggs range around in the sunshine? I get the meaning, but it’s hilarious to me.

I paid $1.99/gal to fill up 2 SUVs yesterday. $2.99 - $1.00 by redeeming fuel points. Nearby stations had jumped up to $3.49 minutes before.

Prior to the oil embargo, my dad and I routinely bought gas anywhere from $0.15-$0.25/gal. He was a travelling repairman and knew every cut-rate station around. Thankfully, he had already retired when the embargo hit.

 

[sprailroad]

In the same country, right?
