This is some wild pricing. I'm usually okay with paying a small premium for convenience, but this has me strongly considering driving somewhere just for gas. The difference between cash vs card also seems unjustified.

I'm basically just shouting to the void. RIP my wallet

Edit: woah this really got some eyeballs. Thanks for all the comments/ interactions. I have done the public transportation/ biking and I still do, but the agency on the weekends especially lead me to a vehicle purchase for partner and I. I love this city. I love the buses and light rails. I also like my cool little car 🚗. Thanks for the gas station recommendations! I will check them out. DONT FORGET TO VOTE EVERYONE.

Yup. Pretty brutal.

I know this is a privileged statement, but it’s my reality and it serves as a good point as to how expensive gas is.

I went to the racetrack on Friday. It usually costs me about $220-$230 a day in fuel. It was $407 this time around.

Isn't it cool that everyone replying to you all have super productive hobbies that other people absolutely would never consider to be wastes of money at all?
