Sorry for calling BS. I hope others in your area offer you a better price. Eve with a hybrid, I could not afford that!

My guess is a sign malfunction.
Or, they don't have gas in the tanks yet and this discourages people from pulling in to buy gas they don't have.

The 10 cent delta between gas & diesel is probably another indicator of a test run.
The delta here is more like $1.30.

Some weeks I don't drive much, but I think we're probably in the same general area (I'm between Houston/Galveston) and I paid about $3.19. I usually go to the Shell or Valero by my house so not driving around looking for cheaper. But that's a jump for us.

I'm retired from working with infants, children and adults with intellectual disabilities. I don't understand how some people on DU think it's ok to denigrate intellectually challenged people by comparing their disabilities to disgusting republicans. Would this behavior be acceptable for any other class of people. Especially using the "r" word. So thank you for stepping up and calling out this behavior.

We all make mistakes. It takes an insightful person to accept and learn from mistakes. At times like this it's easy to let our anger takeover. I know your response was meant for trump and did not at the time realize that it could be hurtfuul to someone considered low IQ. It speaks well of your character and humanity. I understand how easy it is to compare trumps behavior to low intelligence. It's important to help people to understand that Trump is not low IQ. He is ignorant, evil, vengeful plus many other despicable things but these are not charteristics of low IQ.
I so appreciate your response to me and your ability to it accept what I said. A good person with caring heart and humanity is able to accept and change behavior. Obviously you are both.

Idling at the curb reading the phone, commuting alone, making lots of short trips, driving big SUVs and trucks — behavior won’t change until it’s maybe $10, and for a longer period.
