Gas @ $1.99 today

Dee's picture

I heard about it at 5 AM, so I got up and came in to work early via Park Ave/Pleasant St. Sure enough, the line went almost all the way to the rotary and people were almost running into me trying to get in line in front of me....which is really funny since I wasn't even trying to get in line. I took a video because it's my newest fun thing to do. It says it's not up yet, but it is.

This was to save like $30?

Re: Gas @ $1.99 today

lol...i guess. I understood the camper being there. I also understood the media being there...lol. I just went to see how silly the line was. I guess after 8:00 it was around the rotary and down one of the other streets...lol...CRAZY! Fun, though.

My son just watched the vid and laughed at the fake Wista accent...although he said I don't do it that good anymore, though.

Re: Gas @ $1.99 today

I used to live in an apartment right down the road from the gas station (the T&G called it a Gulf, but it's always been an Exxon as far as I know). On days when they have a mere nickel off the price of a gallon, the line would stretch for 30 or 40 cars during commute times. I can only imagine what a holy mess it is with a 2 dollar discount. No one on that side of Pleasant is going to be able to get out of their driveways without playing a frustrating game of slow-mo chicken. People are seriously possessive about their spot in line. The real fun starts when they get to the entrance/exit of the gas station and have to choose which pump to shoot for, while allowing the cars who've already filled up to leave. It's a zoo.

I heard on the radio that park ave was a parking lot this morning I was wondering what was going on. Move to Southbridge gas is only $3.89..

Re: Gas @ $1.99 today

Actually, I think all up and down Grove Street/Park Ave it was only $3.89 too.

Re: Gas @ $1.99 today

$3.75 where I am (North Carolina). I don't think it's worth the drive for you folks.

Re: Gas @ $1.99 today

Re: Gas @ $1.99 today

i agree....hey $1.99 is a good price but I am not gonna wait an hour to save $30 or something......but i might wait an hour to save $75 or more.

the silly people are the ones that go to Wal Mart in Oxford (when they live in Worcester) to buy their gas their cuz it's 3.98 while its $4.02 at Cumbys right down the road from their house....sure, you are saving 4 cents a gallon but you are giving that savings back on the gas you spent to GET THERE.....go take an economics course, sucker.

Re: Gas @ $1.99 today

I just drove to the vet's office about a mile away from my house. The prices ranged from $3.73 to $3.93, at four different gas stations (Hess, Shell, Texaco, Sheetz (do you guys have those up there?). On the same trip I heard the business report saying that crude had dropped another $4.18 this morning. Light at the end of the tunnel?
Oh, and hello Steele. WNL is finally gone, eh?

Re: Gas @ $1.99 today

wtnl is gone for me. less signatures with pictures of dicks and dead people here.

Re: Gas @ $1.99 today

Agreed. WTNL illustrates the sad fact that some people simply can't function in decent society without someone monitoring their behavior.
Like there isn't enough porn on the Internet already? Who needs to see it in a thread about local ice cream shops or the best place to get sushi?

Re: Gas @ $1.99 today

I started to feel like I was regressing just reading the forums at one point. I mean everyone has their moments, but that place became so inappropriate and childish it wasn't even fun anymore. Obviously, I am glad it's gone for now. Too bad though, I hope the "Joebars" find their way here...

Someone should send out a Bat Signal for Joebar/Crutching/EZ/Boy, etc.

Re: Gas @ $1.99 today

It's a DCU promotion, we have a live feed here at work, though honestly it's not that exciting. I was hoping for a fist fight or something while I was eating lunch.

Oh and RIP WTNL, I hope this doesn't affect fantasy football in any way.

JoeBro here and fuck. I just got into work and was in line since 7am. I go into the cashier and say my typical "can I have $5 on number 3?.. thanks"

they looked at me like I had 3 heads.

I can tell you this. IT is definetely not worth waiting in line for five bucks worth. that's for sure.

Was it only the regular gas that was on sale? Us rich folks fill our tanks with the blood of infants.


Passion is inversely proportional to the amount of real information available.

Re: Gas @ $1.99 today

I asked you not to show that picture of me online anymore. Do you know how many woman have a Tron fetish and start stalking me everytime that is shown.

Linnea, EZ has sent out the email and set up the FF on Yahoo. I'll send you the link if you need it.

Re: Gas @ $1.99 today

Are you kidding? Please send me the link. What's he trying to shut me out, you guys scared already?

Re: Gas @ $1.99 today

No I emailed him Sunday in a panic when I noticed WNL was pulled off life support. He set it up yesterday. It's a little more complicated this year , we're going to be doing Individual Defensive Players in addition to offensive players.
I'll send you the info tonight when I get home, just give me an email address. You too Buckley.

Unless you have his email then feel free to send hate mail directly to him.

I'd post the information here but its not my league and I don't know what his plans are for it. Plus this is really about saving 2 buck on a gallon of gasoline.

I never thought of that, but I'm sure it was just the regular stuff.

It's over now...it ended at 1:00.

Hey dudes, GAS IS CRAZY!

Now that I got that out of the way could one of you kind souls (RE: Linnea) please let me know how to sign up for the fantasy football? I would like to play this year.

Re: Gas @ $1.99 today

sent to your email. my account is all set up, gonna take some time to figure out this new defensive line-up. time to dust off my fantasy football for dummies book, after all the trash talking I did last year I have a feeling I'm gonna hear it this year

Re: Gas @ $1.99 today

Not sayin I'd wait in line for 2 hours, but sometimes 30 bucks is 30 bucks, ya know, if you don't have it to blow in the first place...I dunno...not real worth it to me time-wise...but I hardly fall into the carefree spending category...

I paid 3.70 something in town earlier this week...meh. suxxors either way.
