It broke the $4 mark here ... $4.01[999999] for regular here in Falls Church, VA

What really makes me angry is when gas stations switch the order of the fuel grade. [regular / mid grade / premium is sometimes mid grade / premium / regular. watch out!]


I accidentally picked up the premium pump in stead of the regular pump last week and I didn't notice until after I filled up!

Metro, here I come.

Oh yeah, I had forgotten you lived in Falls Church. Sweet.

At my job it's anywhere from $4.05 to $4.25 for regular. Where I live it's usually about $3.90ish still, so I'm trying to only fill up out there. All the bp stations seem to be charging 15-20 cents more than everyone else for some reason.
