Gas Stations Add Extra Digit To Pump Meters In Anticipation Of $10 Gas
Daily Caller ^ | 5/20/22 | CHRIS BERTMAN

Posted on 05/20/2022 7:52:29 PM PDT by markomalley

reportedly added an extra digit to their pumps in anticipation of $10 per gallon of gas, The Post Millennial reported Tuesday.

Gas Pumps have reportedly been reprogrammed to include double-digits at the 76 Gas Station in Auburn, Washington, located at 1725 Auburn Way North to accommodate record fuel prices. While the company has not confirmed they will have double-digit prices at their pumps, the company clarified that they are preparing for increased prices based on current trends, a 76 spokesperson said, according to the outlet.

Biden's destructive policies are not only impacting internal US prices, but prices all over the world.

Here, 91 Octane gas was 27.91 THB (about 83.8ยข at the exchange rate then) per liter this time last year. Today it is 42.91 THB per liter ($1.25 at the current exchange rate). In other words, about $75 to fill up my Camry. I don't like doing that, but I can. I feel badly for those who can't.

Biden is not only a danger to the US...his actions are endangering the entire world...the economy as well as stability.

Where I just moved from, gas is $1.82 USD/litre. As of noon today, that is.

Round everything to the nearest 10 cents and move the decimal to the right one digit.

For curiosity, what was it a year ago? The exact gas price is not the key factor, IMO, the increase is the big issue.

For example, one of the big chains here. PTT, has this historical tracker.

I predict 12 a gallon when Biden “wins” his second term.

It was hovering just about $1/litre.

Adding two will save time. President Trump had gas heading toward a dollar a gallon. The people said, “Hell with this!” “We don’t want prosperity. We want famine and starvation under Lying Joe Biden’s policies. He is one of us. We can relate to him”. It is in the process of being done. Enjoy. Probably for the first time in history, the American people can say they got what they voted for.

They will keep the 9/10ths.

It is a tradition.

81 million voters can’t be wrong. They all can have some serious mental issues though.

You got to love biased reporting.

As Paul Harvey would say, and now the rest of the story.

The gas station is next to a race track and they sell 100 octane gas for race cars. That high priced gas is getting to be close to $10 per gallon and so they reprogrammed their pumps for the purpose of selling racing gasoline.

I didn't even catch that.

Over here, they only sell 91 and 95 octane gas (and the 95 is only a few pennies more than the 91). I completely forgot about 87 octane being the norm in the States.

I warned people years ago when gas stations switched their signs to digital and there was talk of eliminating the penny; didn’t bode well for the value of the dollar.

Many EV owners are feeling the pinch too may charging stations are getting the plug in coeds stolen for the copper to buy gas money.
