I filled up my gas tank yesterday. I’ve been waiting for prices to drop below $2.00 a gallon, and here in Richmond (south side), they did.
The WaWa across the street is a penny cheaper, but it’s a) on the wrong side of the street, b) always too crowded, not worth saving a whole sixteen cents per tankful, and c) doesn’t sell lottery tickets, so when I lotto-pool with Sarah I’d have to make two stops instead of one.
So Chubby’s it is, and this was the total:
You know, I realized as I was about to snap the picture that it would get one of those pictures of me in it, which weirded me out in so many ways, thinking about those creeps who like to put nekkid pictures of themselves in, like, ebay items. So I stepped to the left of the pump and stuck out my arm to take the picture. The most you’re going to find when you look closely is my right arm. Which was clothed. Short sleeves, it was near ninety in Richmond today. We always get good weather for Rosh Hashana.
I find the cheapest prices via Richmondgasprices.com. Most cities have one, either go to mine and click on the link to yours, or type your city’s name in the URL.
You’d be amazed at the difference in prices in only a few blocks.
$2.00 per gallon! Wow, you are lucky.
Here is Israel, it ranges from NIS 5.9 to NIS 6.5 per liter. Taking 6.25 as an average price, 3.8 liters to the gallon, and an exchange rate of 4.35 shekels to the US dollar, that comes to 5.46 US dollars to the gallon.
I never thought I’d have a use for seventh grade algebra, but it does make me happy not to have a car anymore.
