But it certainly comes out of gas pumps.
Let's talk about something disconcerning right now. Gas throughout California is anywhere between $4.19 and $4.45 a gallon. The lower end of the spectrum to be found only at cheap retail truck stops in the middle of nowhere, and the higher prices in really expensive areas. Don't even get me started on diesel which clocks in at a shockingly high $5.20 per gallon.
As I'm pumping my gas yesterday, I notice some signs on the side of the pump reading something to the effect of "You are not allowed to spend more than $75 on your tank." Which explains a loooooot to me right now, seeing as how the last few times I tried to fill the Explorer, the pump shut off at under 3/4 of a tank. I tried in vain to continue filling, knowing that surely it takes longer than a minute to fill my car.
So, apparently now we're being rationed on both water and gas out here.

Ugh tell me about it! $75 hardly fills my tank halfway, I hate going to the pump that often! I hate paying this much for gas, but I hate going to the pump that often even more!
Can't wait to catch up with you, I want to hear about your trip!
fyi, i just filled up at that chevron on the corner of storke and hollister for $4.69/gallon...for the regular.
