I just took this shot at the gas station located at the corner of Ashby and Claremont in Berkeley... or maybe it's technically Oakland. No matter; the critical psychological barrier of Quadra-Buck Gas has been breached here. Yeah, yeah, nitpickers may have noted that it's Full Serve Premium, but we can expect Cat Piss 83 Octane, self-served by wringing gas-soaked rags over your fuel filler, to be up to Quadra-Buck standards any day now. – Murilee Martin

"Well, I went home for lunch since my office is only 5 minutes away, and when I was on my way back to work I saw the worst thing at the end of my street $4.07 for Premium. It is a sad day indeed, but thankfully I filled up last weekend and I am still on F. I hate the fact that I have to run Premium in my car, but luckily it is only a V6. We may be the first to Pay, but just wait.. everyone else will follow. Attached is the sad image of the culprit of the BP Gas station at Division & Noble in Chicago."
We hear it's even worse at the BP on Central Ave & Northwest Hwy — it's $4.18 a gallon there. – Ray Wert
