What to they do to the sign when the price goes up to $10.00 per gallon?


They pick an alternative volume measure like a quart or a liter.
Besides it will seem more economical.

I'm looking at all the years each politician has been in government; if ever there was a case for term limits, this is it.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Or perhaps go to something even smaller - like a tablespoon or  a cup.
Brothers, sisters, come on down to that river
Guaranteed you'll never be the same
There's a fountain flowing from the heart of the Savior
Bring your sins and all your guilty stains
Let that river of life wash it all away

Probably quarts.  Good luck getting the general U.S. public into the metric system!

@Slide Rule

There is nothing hostile about it. They are doing it with the permission and even at the insistence of the professional welfare classes ,including the welfare parasites on Wall Street.

Everybody involved is allowed to get a little "taste of the profits",and "Me,me,ME,DAMMIT is the only one they care about.

It's all about selfish self-interest.

@Slide Rule

You obviously don't own and drive a diesel pu,or that wouldn't be anything new to you.

I am to the point now where I only fill my tank up half-way,and then look for cheaper prices per gallon as I am going places so I can finish filling up. Saved 80 cents a gallon doing that last week.  Yeah,it was only slightly more than a half-tank,but that's better than nothing. At a minimum,it's a couple of paid for lunches.

I'm pondering that as I look at my 2 Liter bottle of Pepsi and the 500 mL bottles of water.

I got a couple Jerry Cans for gas, and they are not 5 gallon, they're 20 Liters.

Well the bitumen coming from the Alberta Tar sands was supposed to replace the heavy crude from Venezuela after the Socialists "nationalized" their oil and drove the westerners with the tools and tech out.

But some idiot shut down the pipeline that was going to carry it south.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

You misspelled 'treasonous bastard'.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."
