That one on Memorial, I see a lot of older folks there; guessing some may not drive much away from home, and the station is in the neighborhood. Now the one on Richmond, I can't explain. Maybe not everyone watches their gauges as closely as we do? 
I think they're much higher in Detroit and Chicago.

Fortunately, Kroger has cheaper gas, and it's less than a mile down the Euclid strip. Gas there is $3.60 per gallon...WITH a Kroger card...
It was horrifyingly amazing earlier, today. We went out and got gas after church and the lines at the pumps were outrageous! There were cars line up at the pumps, three or four in line after one another, at every pump! It was almost as if it were "Black Friday" all over again, except, this was for the cheapest price on gas!
Remember that Wild Banchi... 1993-2010

Yes. Bay City is the town. We're always an hour or two ahead of the rest of y'all.

Average around here is $3.95, wouldn't be surprised to see $4.00 by the end of the week. Most stations inside Chicago city limits are already over $4.00.
You'd have liked seeing how far we really went back (original was lost in the merge).
I saw several $3.79s yesterday in the Galleria area!

Rico, The bottom sign mentions April 2011. Misprint or closed station? I'll take the free burgers and beer.
On one street in Indy, a closed station displayed 98.9 for years and countless numbers of drivers tried to turn into the barricaded station. I almost did, the first time but the prices that day at oipen stations were just above a dollar.
I think Rico has a habit of photoshopping signs, LOL!
.98 would sound cheap now, but would have been high in the olden days (when they gave away free drinking glasses, steak knives, stamps to save/redeem for goods). I can remember gas wars when prices were in the teens...I am old.
Know what you mean Spd and I worked at a gas station when only 17. Gal of gas, or pack of cigs, take your pick at 26 cents each. Little returnable bottles of coke were a dime. Plus we gave out free steak knives & other freebies with a fill-up, as you mentioned, but hardly gave any away. A fill-up was waaay too expensive. 
But if you had the money for a fill up we would clean all the windows, check/top all the fluids, put air in the tires, etc.. Full service instead of no service.
Between $3.80 - $3.85 here.

I think most kids don't know about CDs, only mp3s and streaming (and Torrents). They know about DLP theaters and IMAX, and mostly stream or download movies (why ATT is going to start capping us...j/k!). It's a whole different world.
A few stations around town will give a cash discount, remember those? But they don't advertise it openly until you pull up and read the fine print. Mostly Valero and Phillips 66 that I've seen. Who carries that MUCH cash to fill up their tank today?
Drove into one station here in Detroit yesterday and prices were 4.01 per gallon. I drove back out and found one where I paid 3.95.
You know what blows? When you pay $3.63 / gal, like I did yesterday and think that you are getting a bargain. It was $3.69-3.79 just 5 blocks away. It wasn't out of my way to save $1.50 but I was a bit afraid that i would run out before I got there. The free Gasbuddy app saved the day and $1.50.
