Self pumped gas is always cheaper.

Only until you get used to the price going up. Diesel used to be 10 cents, while gasoline was 75 cents. When I was a teenager gasoline was available at full service stations for 24.9 cents. I have seen it low as 8 cents, before I drove of course :) Anyone remember price wars at competing service stations? Now they all raise their price at the same time, people are used to it, after all there is a shortage. Har, har, Har.

LOL. I remember one when I was a kid. The usual price was about $0.30/gal, and it got all the way to $.05 in a week or so. Then it went back up, of course.
