New gas station opening in NC

[dweller]

Either testing new sign , or trying to induce cardiac arrest in passing traffic
😐

1. Good way to keep the lines short.

[dweller]

3. Not open yet

Certainly not inducive to a “grand opening “

😑

8. Or perhaps they're just clairvoyant.

And spookily so.

[usedtobedemgurl]

5. I call BS. I am in NC.

The most I have seen was between $3-4. No way this is real.

[dweller]

6. No

It’s a real sign .

I pass it on the way to town and back .

🤔

[usedtobedemgurl]

9. So weird thete us a $6 difference.

Sorry for calling BS. I hope others in your area offer you a better price. Eve with a hybrid, I could not afford that!

12. No Way Are They Selling Gas For $9 Per Gallon

My guess is a sign malfunction.
Or, they don't have gas in the tanks yet and this discourages people from pulling in to buy gas they don't have.

[dweller]

14. The lot isn't even open to entering

Testing sign ?
I guess

[ProfessorGAC]

17. That Could Be

The 10 cent delta between gas & diesel is probably another indicator of a test run.
The delta here is more like $1.30.

[dweller]

19. It also posted

$4.44 occasionally , I figured for diesel …
Diesel is currently $4.99 here .

[ProfessorGAC]

21. It's Around $4.80 Here

A bit lower, but I couldn't guess why.

[dweller]

13. Gas here is steady at

$3.59 for highest priced
$3.29 for lowest priced
$4.99 for kerosene

Since last weekend
Was $3.09 hi
$2.74 lo

Don’t recall kero price

32. I guarantee oil was $62 bbl before the excursion and it's now $100 bbl

Only the MAGA cult is convinced gas has not gone up

[surfered]

34. Got gas yesterday. It's $3.69 here within blocks of refinery row. Was $2.69 prior to Retardo's War

[TBF]

35. I noticed that too -

Some weeks I don't drive much, but I think we're probably in the same general area (I'm between Houston/Galveston) and I paid about $3.19. I usually go to the Shell or Valero by my house so not driving around looking for cheaper. But that's a jump for us.

39. Only a person with a diminished mental capacity would have initiated this war.

An idiot who thinks he’s a genius.

40. Thank you

I'm retired from working with infants, children and adults with intellectual disabilities. I don't understand how some people on DU think it's ok to denigrate intellectually challenged people by comparing their disabilities to disgusting republicans. Would this behavior be acceptable for any other class of people. Especially using the "r" word. So thank you for stepping up and calling out this behavior.

[surfered]

41. I apologize and will refrain from using that term in the future.

[csusan]

42. Thank you

We all make mistakes. It takes an insightful person to accept and learn from mistakes. At times like this it's easy to let our anger takeover. I know your response was meant for trump and did not at the time realize that it could be hurtfuul to someone considered low IQ. It speaks well of your character and humanity. I understand how easy it is to compare trumps behavior to low intelligence. It's important to help people to understand that Trump is not low IQ. He is ignorant, evil, vengeful plus many other despicable things but these are not charteristics of low IQ.
I so appreciate your response to me and your ability to it accept what I said. A good person with caring heart and humanity is able to accept and change behavior. Obviously you are both.

[surfered]

43. 🙏❤️

36. Wasn't there a state tax before the war?

[Intractable]

7. Testing the sign to ensure it can handle next year's prices.

[dweller]

11. Odd thing is

I saw it several days ago , and didn’t have time to catch a pic .
Then is was dark next time I passed .
Today it was lit again , but it’s the same numbers from before … I figured they’d testing all numbers , but no .

10. Wait 'til folks figure out they've gone metric.

[Xavier Breath]

15. My pickup doesn't take liters, it takes gallons, god damnit!

[MichMan]

20. Liters are a little bigger than a quart, so it would be priced much lower than a gallon, not higher.

[DJ Synikus Makisimus]

22. Depends on how long Trump's war goes on.

[BadgerKid]

16. Rubles per deciliter?

4.31900 (U.S. dollars per US gallon) = 9.12986392 Russian rubles per deciliter

[dweller]

18. Correct , comrade

Sign of the times

27. We know it's not real because diesel isn't $3 more than regular gas.

[SheltieLover]

29. Regular in SW TN is $3.39. Diesel $4.99

Give these ruskie ASSets another week & diesel might be $3+ more than regular.

[SheltieLover]

28. Foreshadowing?

[orangecrush]

30. The words of the prophets

Or something ...

[Ron Green]

37. Even when it was $6.00 years ago, people still burned it.

Idling at the curb reading the phone, commuting alone, making lots of short trips, driving big SUVs and trucks — behavior won’t change until it’s maybe $10, and for a longer period.
