That's stupid. I always wanted to see and ask people like that. They are waiting 3-4 hours to get gas cheaper. Saving of $30-40. Maybe. Now if you go and work overtime for 3-4 hours how much money they making? Not to mention about the wasted gas in that hot 3-4 hours.

You assume they had the option of working instead. Most people with enough time on their hands to sit there and wait, only work part time. I have never had the opportunity to go to any of the free gas events hosted by the local radio stations, because I have a full-time job.

Everybody has the option to work. Maybe not what you like but there is work. Don't forget you chose your future. How well you educate yourself and how well you pick the place you'll live has a lot to do with your future.

One day, you're going to stop posting on here. And we're all going to worry about 87 octane man. Then someone will find out that your G had catastrophic engine failure and you didn't want to face the music

Thats what i'm talking about. Now if it can just keep going down everywhere with out the long lines.

Since it's almost at $3.50 in Jersey and the price of crude keeps dropping how low do you guys think it will get in the next 3-6 months?? $3.00 sound to good to be true??? It's already dropped about .50 in the past 2 months.

I will be happy when Premium drops to $2/gallon and all of the gas guzzlers pay ridiculously high annual taxes to subsidize the price of gas.

It would be nice if that happened here. I don't get paid the hour so waiting an hour is no biggie.

this makes me mad... if they can do that... then why is gas 3.50 something every other day... that means all it takes is one place to lower it prices and it would force every other place to...
