That's BS. It's their freaking sign, and they are responsible for what it says. There is this thing called "Truth in advertising". They need to get their asses sued for that crap.I haven't seen prices like those in California, but supposedly WA state is still the highest average.
I just came back from filling my tank at a Fred Meyer store (owned by Kroger) because I had a 20-cent fuel discount that I had use up by today.
The sign overhead advertised regular for $4.79 gal. When I got to the pump it was actually $4.89! I spoke to the employee inside the kiosk, and she just shrugged and said, "We don't do the signs." Such great customer service.![]()
Hah! Yeah, I drove by the next day and they had changed the sign. It was now raised $4.93!That's BS. It's their freaking sign, and they are responsible for what it says. There is this thing called "Truth in advertising". They need to get their asses sued for that crap.
Probably not much for the primaries but you can bet they will go down in time for the election.So...
What will prices go in 6 months when the primaries begin?
Local Costco regular is currently $5.39. Local Chevron is $6.35
Wow getting charged 10-20 cents for using a credit card. I haven't seen that in 25 yrs or so.Sacramento suburb. I got back from a Costco gas run 20 minutes ago. The stations I passed on the way there ranged from $5.89 to $6.69 / gal for regular, not including the 10-20 cent / gal markup for using a credit or debit card.
Costco was $5.29 / gal, no markup.
We're hanging around $3.50 with multiple gas mouths to feed.So we recently were the recipients of some unwelcome news. Washington state now has the highest gas prices in the nation, surpassing even California and Hawaii. If the high state taxes on fuel weren't bad enough, the Guv pushed through an extra carbon-pricing program to "punish" the oil industry for climate change. But guess who it really punishes? They say it's added an extra $.30-$.50 per gallon.
I saw a Shell station yesterday at $5.24 a gallon. The cheapest I could find was $4.69 at Costco. My daughter bought an EV, and it's fine for putting around town. But I'm still not giving up my 2016, 5.7 ltr Hemi Dodge Challenger R/T.
