That's BP for the Ridiculously Priced Gas

There is this BP gas station where I live, and they were charging $2.06/gal. of gas, and right next door (literally, about 300 feet away) there is a Shell station which charges $1.96/gal. It frustrates me so much that these losers can charge so much for gas and people still pay it. See, what happens is that the places in town charge on average between $1.92 - $1.98 or so per gallon, but because they are trying to keep the gas prices low (thank you to all of you) they run out of gas pretty quickly sometimes - or they're so busy that even trying to find an available pump can be an experience in itself. So there I was, filling up my tank at the BP station because the Shell station was out of gas. That makes me mad; BP, you SUCK. OH, which reminds me, I have another BP station story, oh my you will love this. My wife and I went to Georgia/Tennessee for our honeymoon 2 and a half years ago, and all the way there we kept seeing signs for BP (which is actually a very big chain of gas stations) saying "Stop at BP! You'll Love Our Clean Restrooms!" When we did decide to make a pit stop, the horrid condition of the restrooms was enough to prevent us from going near a BP to use the restroom, even to this day (I mean, baaaad bad bad, like "hey port-0-potties are bad, but try putting a full one in a giant paint-shaker" bad.) So, with that said: BP, you've been black-listed. Permanently.
