It’s no secret that Gas Prices have been getting ridiculous over the past couple of days. On my way to work I pass two relatively cheap gas stations: A Race Trac, 7-Eleven and a Quick Trip. All of which were $2.19. Now that was ridiculous since just a few weeks ago I was looking at a $1.99 just turned to $2.05 and getting pissed. Can you believe that I was waiting for the price to go down? I guess I must have been delusional or something, but there were a couple of drops in prices that had me wishing. Now I missed filling up at $2.13 some time last week because, like an idiot, I’m waiting for prices to go down. So I vowed that I would definitely fill up today at $2.19 (ouch). This was important since I be making a trip out of town this weekend and if I have to pay more that $2.19 to fill up I’ll end up shooting myself in the head (although, chances are a gun would be slightly more that $2.19).

On my way back from work I paused at the Quick Trip (Yes, they’re in reverse order now. Nice to see that you’re keeping up) while sitting a light. I stared at the price for the entire duration. I even had to be honked to get moving again because I was stunned. The sticker said $2.25. I wanted to die. Just imagine my horror when I past the 7-Eleven to see the same price. At this point I’m almost blacking out. I’m struggling just to keep conscious so I don’t hit the car ahead of me.

But I suppose the heavens were smiling down at me because I pulled into the Quick Trip and was blessed with a still steep price of $2.19. These stations are usually so in sync (yeah, sometimes they do look a lil’ Boy Band-ish) that I had to double check at the pump. I quickly filled up and rushed home dreading the next time I would have to repeat this lil’ Gas Price Tango.
