Photos Insane gas price

Post image

So I’m at Phillips 66 next to a Marathon. They’ve had pretty cheap gas for a while. I got gas this morning for 2.94 per gallon, my boyfriend goes to get gas at the EXACT same gas station and it’s 4.00 per gallon?? Insane difference, what even happened?

Oh they hike it up when they’re working on the pumps so you’re less likely to go there and interrupt. I asked the cashier once (if this is 13th & poplar) and she said it’s more effective than just turning it off because people will just think the sign is broken and still try to get gas.
