You know what I love?And maybe this makes me the biggest nerd out there....
Gas price spotting!
On any given day my significant other will be regaled by stories of mythical gas prices I've seen about town! "1.29 today... no wait, today was 1.15... nope 1.06... HOT DAMN 0.98," and so on and so on...
It's akin to bird watching except the only equipment you require is an automotive vehicle (ok which is way more than a pair of binoculars) . Part of me wishes I could keep a log book in my car of my many sightings along my travels. For example: Peterborough, New Years day 2015 - sighted gas at an Ultramar for 0.88/L. #Jackpot.
But this WAS my life, until Costco gas ruined my fun little driving game (much to my girlfriends delight), the gas price here is as T-pain says in reference to ladies at the club "low low low low low low low low lowwwwwww".
Downsides,
- COSTCO recently switched from AMEX to Mastercard, so my Visa and Amex are useless at the pumps here. Enjoy MC customers, I envy you
- Line ups, but get over it people, when the fuel is this cheap, you wait in line
You literally cannot beat their price, on average 6 - 8 cents cheaper than the nearest cheap competitor. Game Over. read more
