Good grief, where is your sense of humor. "I think this story is a crock." LOL

I doubt that this really happened, considering you have to put your credit card in before you pump. If paying gas, you have to pay inside BEFORE you pump. If it is true, you are thief. NOT OK.

Woowoo
This gas thing is bringing about grumpiness - many missin’ the humor - we still stop at fillin’ stations for junk food, to poop n pee, and plug in on a road trips, but have been using the fuel the sun donates to our PV’s and have been all electric since our first Chevy Bolt In ‘17.
Are we still grumpy? Dern tootin’ but this gas thing gives us a chuckle after dumping a van that sucked it up huge.

Good news! Gas prices have dropped now 28 days in a row. Stop whining. Oil company greed won’t last forever…..oh wait. Maybe not. Nevertheless, it is definitely slowly coming down.

You need to work on shopping, I just paid 4.06. You were robbed.

If prices keep going up it might start getting worse. My son in law in Texas had a whole tank of gas stolen from his truck in the middle of the night.

Back in the day, as a Junior at a Minnesota University, I was sort of idealistic. Also sort of ill-informed. I decided to stage a one-person protest over parking tickets, which at the time were a $1 payment if paid within 3 days, $3 if over that, on the premise that parking tickets amounted to double taxation. Anyway in the space of several months I accumulated a pile of 133 unpaid parking tickets. Well, the inevitable happened. I received a summons to appear in court over the unpaid tickets, though in all honesty I think what provoked the summons was my other habit of grabbing a pile of nickels and sauntering on down the sidewalk about a half-block ahead of the meter maid (yep, we called 'em that back then) and dropping a nickel into every parking meter with a car parked in the spot, that had an expired meter. She didn't like that at all (though I don't think it is illegal).

Anyway...court. I pled "guilty--with an explanation". The judge let me expound on my reason for not paying the ticket, then sentenced me to a $100 fine or 20 days in jail, $33 less than I would have paid had I paid every ticket on time. Suffice it to say I paid the fine.
Is it illegal to pay someones meter?

The law is you must move the car. You cannot feed the meter twice. Again NY I had a cop watch me double feed the meter and then write me a ticket for double feeding the meter. Respect for the law. Truth reality only if you have never dealt with it.
The town I grew up in had meters that took pennies, which got you 6 minutes. As long as you wanted to feed the meter, you could park in that space. Southerners just nicer folks!

Like your videos.

There is a Ted Talk about electric autos. The premise is, were you able to replace ALL gas powered autos with electric vehicles today, would you? The speaker went on to show that electric vehicles have a larger carbon footprint vs gas powered, and create additional environmental problems. Seems (according to the lecture) hybrids are best for the environment (at least until we are able to improve the technology of electric transportation.).

If this was intended to be funny, I don't think it works. Theft isn't a joke.

You are a clever person but still a thief.

Where were you driving - California? Your fine is $70 and you forgot to mention that you still have to pay the original amount for the gas. Keep your "money saving" tips to yourself!
