    I realize there's already an oil thread, but we need to appreciate this.

    I pay $2.30 for premium in the galleria area, wtf.

    I'm selling my car for a prius and moving to this gas station's nearest neighborhood.

    I believe it's this one.

    Looking through the replies on that KHOU tweet though, someone posted a pic of the station with $1.48. So not sure if they just had that price for a couple of hours or something, or if it was a photoshop.

    People who get paid in cash. So like drug dealers, waiters(tips) and illegal immigrant workers. Pretty good portion of Houstons population.

    Probably just some sort of promotion. 2 of my local gas stations have done something similar.
