I've been driving a lot lately, since it's a four hour trip from home to school, and lately I've been noticing diesel prices for $.02, $.03, and today I saw $.15! I thought it was just one station missing a letter, but I'm seeing all these extremely low prices up everywhere...

No, I swear, I even stopped and stared at one of the signs for a few minutes to make sure I wasn't going crazy.

Okay, you know on the interstate, all the gas stations have their signs super high in the air with the gas prices on it? I've seen $.02 and $.03 last week and today I saw $.15!

Ah, I see. Well, their sign is obviously screwed. Perhaps they assume that you know a $2.xx should precede the .XX

Yeah, maybe they don't have a 2 to go infront of the stuff for the diesel sign?

Yep, missing a digit, with the rising prices & the seasonal demand for heating oil, diesel prices have gone >$2/gallon.

Truckers are very aware of prices, so the missing 2 dollars is no big deal.

I thought you were talking about the clothing company, which I would agree, is over-priced shite.

Pretty much all clothing stores are overpriced sh*t. I only shop at old navy cause it's the cheapest place I can find. Lands End is cheap too.

Those signs were put up with the typical american expectation that nothing will ever change! So hence they have no 2 in the dollar spot because the price of gas will surely never rise above 2 dollars! :Q :roll:

Pffft...home heating oil is already @ $2/gallon around here. Two freakin years ago it was only .99/gallon. :|
