Who killed the electric car? . . Seriously!!!

Great, so now everyone knows where I was at 10:46 pm. I clearly remember the summer I bought my car, when gas was $2.15 and later it became $2.75 ...and I was bitching. Each time I look at the price of a gallon of gas, I count the number of Happy Meals being funneled into my gas tank. Those poor kids....what would the world be like with less Happy Meals to go around. .
Now this pisses me off. It isn't a coincidence that every time I fill up at this station, my expenditure is always EVEN and rounded. I love how it's EXACTLY $75.00!!! God damn pump is rigged to round UP! 16.597 gallons my bloody arse, I thought my car only had a maximum capacity of 17 gallons. If my reserve is 2 gallons...shouldn't it be 15 gallons at the max? I wasn't even on the Empty mark when I filled up. ...
I seriously need to start digging ...or I'll just bike around the place. . .
ps: I like how it says in red, "please pay first". @#$!@#^!@#%#$!!!!!

I just happened to read an article that actually credit card companies limit the purchase at gas station to $75. The policy is always there, just due to the ridiculous gas price recently more and more ppl noticed that.

not sure if u can read the link:
