Got Gas Get Hosed!
The price of gas took another hike in this region this evening. They were announcing on the radio that it was rising from 98.9 cents per litre to 104.9 and not all stations had raised theirs, so shop around.
Well I did that and found a station that was advertising 98.9 in big red LED letters. So I pulled in and proceeded to "filler 'up". On the pump display I noticed the price indicated 102.9 Double checking my sometimes less than ideal vision, I glanced at the big highway sign again. Sure enough 98.9
Lots of cars were pulling in because of the radio announcement and what the sign displayed. Ahh Soo nice going Ahh So. Can't get any scammier than that.
