less expensive than all the others. They even beat Costco and BJ's prices.
And it keeps going down every week by a penny or two... Crazy but I'm not complaining...
If they can do it are the rest price gouging? BTW the coffee there is not to to bad... YMMV

7. I was picking up a prescription at Rite Aid last week

and the elderly woman behind me volunteered that she'd just spent $101 on gas. She kept on about it, too.

Always helpful, I suggested sources for cheaper fuel (Safeway, QFC, Costco), and said we've all just got to economize and try to drive less. She said she has to drive 60 miles RT, every day.

Not much I can do to fix that. That's 2 gallons prob, 1 tank/week.

8. not many cars slowing down

they still speed past my house everyday, all day long

people love to bitch but do not want to take personal responsibility

9. Also, considering the first quarter profits (not earnings) big oil posted

If you're upset about high prices at the pump, be sure you're mad at the right people. I wonder if prices would go down if our domestic oil had to stay in the country rather than being shopped around the globe for the highest price?

10. I always chuckle when Germany and their dependence on Russian gas gets brought up

As if Germans aren't willing to sacrifice heating their homes...when Americans are literally throwing themselves on the ground and having a hissy fit about $15 more in gas a week due in part to the war in Ukraine.

If Americans were told they'd have to ration heat in their homes to support Ukraine, we'd let Russia take it over in a split second.

The only thing worse than the gas prices are the people whining about it without context. This is something we're paying to support Ukraine, at least in part, needs to be framed that way.

11. There would no

WW2 Victory Gardens.

Just complaints about no artisanal…fill in the blank.

12. And waiting in long drive thru lines at places like chik fila, in n out, krispy kreme

People complain about prices but they still would not give up using their personal vehicles just sometimes and using public transportation instead.
