Has the price of a gallon of gas reached your team number yet??

I saw a news clip the other day where low grade gas was $2.37 a gallon, and usually when I see my team's number I let out a Homer-Simpson-like Whoo Hoo!!
As you can guess, I did not this time, cause it was pretty sad/scary.

Has anyone else seen their team number at the pumps lately?

Oh, and for you 4 digit team numbers, you can include the last 9 from the 9/10 in the sighting.

I don't know if the price of gas was ever 67, but the price of gas in my town is Thunder Chickens!

Re: Has the price of a gallon of gas reached your team number yet??

Up here in Canada we are the lowest team number. If gas, bought by the litre, ever reaches $1.88, we will be in HUGE trouble. I paid $1.00.8/litre for premium the other day. Nearly killed me.

Yep - Gas in Michigan is $2.17. I never thought it would get that bad around here. Just be glad that it isn't Las Gurillas prices yet!

Re: Has the price of a gallon of gas reached your team number yet??

I went to the Citgo station by my house the other day and they had taken the signs down to change them. Needless to say the sign was blank and I figured it was one of those things, if you have to ask you can't afford it! I gave the clerk a $10 for 93 octane and got just under 4 gallons.

Oh, and the blank sign, for those of you who put #0000 for your team number.........yes, it has reached the point of your team number too!

Wow you guys are lucky. Gas here in L.A is a good $2.30 and thats on a good day. Our idiot president, no offense to any right-wingers out there but I hate Bush, can't even get oil here from Iraq even though thats the reason we went in anyway.So back to the thread, I don't think gas has ever been 22 cents.

If you define our price as 1.293, then yes, that's long gone.

And it'd better not hit 12.93.
