During our holiday driving in the past few days, we came across this large advertisement on a state highway..made us slow down and pull into the gas station to see if we can benefit from the ultra-low prices 
Disapointment was quick and expected. The gas terminals at the station seemed unused for a long time and there was not a soul in sight. A brief inquiry at a neighboring retail shop enlightened us to the fact that the gas station was shut down and deserted about 4 years ago !!
Yet another evil gas station that seem to like the “gotcha sucker” game. Anyways, at least they are not showing one price and selling at another higher price (that would have made a sensational scam story 
instead of this lame post).
$1.38 per gallon would have saved us about $10 for a full tank, compared to current prices. Instead, it wasted 10 mins of our travel time and just reinforced the wise words: when something seems too good to be true, it is too good to be true.

Gas prices today are indeed outrageous
lets hope in the next few years alternative energy sources and a strong us dollar can bring those prices down to around 1.50$ again
that is funny though, i was recently watching a “most extreme” video were these cops pull up to a gas station in ‘96
can you believe gas was 1.20$?
