Gasoline

We knew gas prices were low, but whew… I did a double take and had to circle back to make sure my eyes weren’t deceiving me.

Is regular is 89 cents or 69 9/10, is super 39 or 59, and is diesel 29 or 39? Did someone slide digits from outdated prices over or is this a new form of advertising? (“Oh sorry, the wind must have done that.”)

We also don’t know what happened to the semi-missing three digits. But the smaller sign implies that you must engage in fisticuffs or some sort of competition to win fuel prices that haven’t been seen since the ’60s or ’70s.

Road trip, anyone?
