I could swear that at one point, maybe when I drove cross-country in `06, I bought a tank of diesel at an integral number of cents per gallon. TMK it only happened the one time. > I could swear that at one point, maybe when I drove cross-country in > `06, I bought a tank of diesel at an integral number of cents per > gallon. TMK it only happened the one time. Oh wow, I was way off.

Once last year when I filled up with my Kroger Fuel Rewards discount, the nominal price was something like $2.799/gal. My discount was 10 cents per gallon. But someone must have programmed the pump wrong, because when it recognized my discount, the price went to $2.690/gal.  SignatureVid the Kid "Does this font make me look fat?" |
