Gas Ripoff?
 

Tell me if I am wrong.

Sign says $1.639 for gas unless you get a car wash ($1.439)
Credit card receipt is based on $1.639 x 8.601g = $14.10.
Shouldn't it be $1.439 x 8.601g = $12.38

The diff is 1.72 but the store only credited me $.86. When I questioned the clerk, he gave me $.45 more. I still feel cheated.

If I'm wrong, whom should I complain to?? It's too much of a hassle with the credit card co., but I'm thinking State Consumer Affairs?

did you get the car wash?!

Got the car wash.

I tried to send an email to Shell but of course it wouldn't take so I am going to write them. I know it's not a lot of money, but it is the principal. And think of everyone that gets gas/car wash.

I never did understand the policy of getting a discount just because you walk inside to charge instead of charging at the pump. What's the difference????

You only pay $1.639/gal???

I wouldn't get my car washed there in future... :)

it's down to 1.96 here :rolleyes:
woo hoo $20 a tankfull

I guess it's more expensive in the bay area too (as expected.)

it is 1.49 here in ada, oklahoma

Everybody stop with the gas talk.

Be thankful you don't live on Oahu, where it's effing $2.12 a gallon.

Be even more thankful that you don't live on the Big Island, Maui, Kauai, Molokai, or Lanai where it's $2.30 + a gallon. And that's without a car wash, thank you.

That's what we pay in California also.

It is about 1.65 in Kansas City. It is costing me about $45 to fill my tank, and I can't even get to work for one week on that~!! (yeah so i drive a gas guzzling SUV!!!)

$1.65-$1.75 out here in the western suburbs of Chicago, much higher in the city. I'm just glad I have a small car! It's nuts.

$2.08 here in good ole so california

It is ranging from $1.62 at the gas station you might get shot at if you use to $1.81 at the Jesus Freak station in the village where my parents live. I compromise at $1.78 at the station on the way home.

$1.62 in San Antonio.

Its all about what the market will bear.

When gas prices are lower theres always a $.10 sperad between grades.

When prices are elevated like now - theres only a $.03 or $.04 difference between grades. Interesting....

By my house outside of Cleveland I can get gas for ~$1.50. If I drive anyplace else it runs between $1.60 and $1.70.

current gas prices here (middle of nowhere, Quebec) are equal to almost $2.50 US a gallon!!
