That would suck. I hate to say it but i don't think that those days are too far off, with the way oil prices are going these days.

it just came down to 95, it was around 1.10/L .

But it freaked me out driving by and it said 195.5/L . I knew it was a mistake but it still pissed me off.

Yikes :ph34r: even as a joke showing someone $1.95/L would be enough to scare even the most die hard SUV owner into parking their bohemeth :P

I filled up at 90.1 Saturday night at around 9:30.

Then as I drove around, I started to see them all going back up, saw a 96, then a 101.1 etc..

why is 90 cents a deal now? :(

Well in comparison to all the other prices it was a "deal." But I certainly don't view it as a good deal. It's like saving 5% on a CD, BFD.

Though I was happy to fill up at 90 cents instead of 110, probably saved me like $10.
