Normally I wouldn't reply to obvious flamebait, but just so you understand, I normally don't let my tank get less than even 1/2 full, but I wasn't about to pay nearly 90 cents a litre for regular yesterday if I could help it, so I took a chance and drove the car back home and found it at less than 80 cents a litre.

Sorry but I hate getting raped by gas stations if I can help it. ;)
