Dalefan Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Do you pay for the gas when you go to the theme parks with your friends? Or do you split the cost of the gas with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browntggrr Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 With money... Why, how do you pay for gas? Is there another way? (sorry, had to ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bombay Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 First I select a few filling stations, I have found that the ones near me are usually cheaper than near KI/Mason, but not always. Next I drive my Toyota Corolla to either Marathon, BP, A local place called "Gas Depot," Swifty, UDF, Shell, or Exon. Decisions. Decisions. After making my choice I pull up to a pump, drivers side facing it of course. I reach to the lower left side of my seat, releasing the gas door. I go to the pump, insert my debit card, then following the pumps most earnest directions I remove the card quickly. It accepts, I sigh, and pause to reflect. I am pressed with the question: "Do you want a car wash?" I view my car, it looks ok, and I get free car washes anyways from the dealership I bought it at, I tell the pump now and it replies to me with an ominous "beep." I then select regular/unleaded, reach for the pump with all my strength, unscrew the gas pump, then place the pump in the tank. I pull the handle, allow the little piece of metal to drop so the pump goes on its own. While taking a moment to myself I look at the station... Do I want gum? Already got some. Do I want a pop? Got a bottle of water in the car. Do I have sunglasses? They always do have cool ones at gas stations. I step inside, purchase a pair of aviators for $3.99, get to my car, replace the pump. Grab my receipt, replace the gas cap. I try on the glasses, they look goofy, so I take them off having just wasted three dollars and ninety nine cents plus tax. I fix my hair, make sure I have everything. I set my iPod to random shuffle, check the mirrors, and take a sip of water. Looking both ways I exit the station, then proceed to Kings Island.

Hopefully our trusty Bombay has it connected to the car stereos! I just don't drive very often to places if I don't need to. I used to if I felt hungry drive to Wendy's but not anymore, I just find something to eat here at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bombay Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Uh, Gabriel, this isn't 1999, they make adapters that allow you to play your iPod through your car speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
touchdown62 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 What do you think the others are invited to come along? The more pushers I have, the faster I go. After seeing the gas prices, I stick my finger in an outlet to restart my heart, then my mom sometimes pays for gas, but she doesn't know it until she gets the monthly statement.
