Default A little math...

shell is having a special...

buy 10 gal of V-power (91) and get $2.00 off your purchase of anything in the shell station.

not a great selection, I know, but think of it this way...

today i bought 10 gal, brought my receipt inside and got a red bull for a quarter. I figure $2.00 into 10 is 20 cents off per gallon...V-power at economy price! Just go inside and buy something for a couple bucks that you would have bought anyway...couple sodas, the paper, maybe another red bull for me...

Just a different (and an "I've got WAYYYY too much time on my hands") way to look at these back-breaking gas prices.

Great find. When did this start, cause I always go to the Shell across the street from my house?

Very recently...I go out of my way to use Shell...cuz they are the only one that "claims" you get something else special with premium.

Mmmm...V-Power....

Anyway...today is the first time I saw it, and I don't know if it is just the one station or all of them.

By the way...I got my dampers...Install goes Friday morning around 8:00 at Miramar Hobby Shop. Any pointers are welcome...Joe has signed on if he can get his *ss out of bed that early.

GEICO Blows...you only save for the first couple months, and then they jack your rates anyway...it's a sales pitch, and it works on the ill-informed.

Funny joke though.
