These days, the last thing you want to see when you’re pulling into a gas station is a guy walking towards the big price sign with a long stick. That can only mean one thing, the price is going up again.
So I wasn’t too happy when I drove into the Valero on route 4 in Farmington this afternoon. I needed three quarters of a tank and that usually means a $75 investment. As I pulled in, the price was at $4.08 and the guy with the stick was moving towards the price sign.
He put the new numbers up as I was trying to figure out how to get 70 bucks cash together. 70 on pump 2, I told the man behind the counter. Lucky day, he said to me, we just changed the price…..from $4:08 to $4:01. Never before. Never again.
