I’m jealous!

The Sam's Club station is usually cheaper than the area fuel stations. They also run a few days behind everyone else due to the way they buy their fuel. I ended up making a special trip to get fuel at 9:40 last night, both to get that price and to avoid the line. They'll be stacked 10 deep first thing in the morning if the price doesn't change, which I expect it will when the next tanker pulls in. I haven't bought gas for that "low" in a while.

If your driving by an ARCO that’s $4.10…why the hell did you pay $5.15 somehwere-else? 🤔

I could not do that.

You must have some real winners climbing/stumbling/staggering/ strutting through the doors from time to time?

Almost every day…..🤪,  Been doing this a little over 3 years. I’m a retired Union electrician out of Seattle Local 46 ,38 years in the trade. Drawing my pension and driving till I hit 66. I got 5 months to go.  Driving these beast isn’t bad. The majority of the people are pretty decent, they’re just trying to get to work or get home from work. The homeless can be difficult when they’re high on something and I’ve had to get the police or a supervisor involved to get them off my bus a few times . The policy is to never even touch a passenger, so if they refuse to get off, it’s supervisor first, if they can’t get them off , then they get the police to come and get them off. The main thing is to be welcoming/ friendly to everyone that enters the bus. Some of the people are a lot of fun to interact with.

What’s the price you were paying before Iran ? Cause that’s less than what we were paying here in the NW before Iran.

Wow, I honestly can’t remember how long ago gas was that low in the NW. Probably a decade or more ago.

I drove past a couple stations that bumped up to $4.00 today, then there was one that was still at $3.50 so I stopped and filled up the half tank. 

Drove past a station that was at 4.99 this morning stopped at one that was still 4.29 and filled up. $1.50 increase in 9 days, thanks a lot.
