When driving through Barstow California, don't get gas at the Chevron on Barstow Rd Exit, it's 60 cents a gallon more than the Valejo station across the overpass... that is 12 dollars more for 20 gallons, wasted

Worst prices in town, on Coronado Island in San Diego Bay... (rich neighborhood, plus only 2 or 3 gas stations, and 10 minutes from the nearest mainland gas station)

Do some gas stations try to trick you into selecting the more expensive grade, by reversing the normal order of buttons?
Above is the norm around San Diego, and everywhere else in America I've bought gas.... but below is the reverse order that I just noticed.

Loading a Doodlebug in Feb 1934 San Antonio
Found on http://reservatory6.blogspot.com/The elusive Doodlebug fuel tanker, seeing one photographed in the wild is so rare that this is the first sighting of one in 2 years. (seriously, this is only the 2nd photo I've ever come across)
in 1935 Texaco designed this tanker and had Diamond T truck company make them to provide greater economy, ease of operation, increased visibility, and greater capacity.

Rental car companies are under scrutiny for gas price gouging, USA Today did a story last week
A USA TODAY survey of auto rental gas prices at 13 big airports on April 25 found Hertz was charging $9.29 a gallon at all 13. Dollar and Thrifty were charging $8.99 a gallon at two.At $9.29 a gallon, Hertz customers renting a Ford Club Wagon, which has a 35-gallon fuel tank, would owe Hertz $325.15 for gas if they returned the wagon with a nearly empty tank and hadn't prepaid for the gas.
Renters who pay ahead of time for a tank of gas from Hertz or another car rental company, though, may find the per-gallon price cheaper than at many local gas stations.
Of 102 prepay prices charged by the eight big car rental companies at 13 airports on April 25, 54 were cheaper than the average price at local gas stations that day. Forty-three prices charged for prepay gasoline were higher, USA TODAY's analysis of rental company prices and the AAA auto club's gas-station data found.
Most or all rental companies' prepay prices were less than the average at local gas stations
Though renters who prepay may pay less per gallon than at local gas stations, it's questionable whether they save money by doing so.
Prepayment is for a full tank of gas and can benefit renters who return vehicles with a nearly empty gas tank. But many renters who pay ahead return vehicles with a substantial amount of gas in the tank and are not credited for it.

In February of this year I checked the price of gas at a couple rental car companies here in San Diego: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/02/rental-car-fuel-charges-as-of-last-week.html

Rental car fuel charges as of last week, before gas prices jumped
National...........$5.01 a gallon
Avis..................$7.99
Hertz................$8.29
This is what you will be charged if they have to top off the tank, if you opt not to prepay them, and don't fill the car before returning it.
