Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

Wow, it’s unusual for gas to be cheaper in NY than in NJ. I paid $2.64 the other day with my 5 cent savings through the Gulf app, which means the regular price was $2.69

We're at $3.09. It was $2.99 a week ago, and it had been at that for probably a month or so.

Pence per litre. I'll let y'all do the maths.

We have so much higher NJ State tax added then in the past. NJ USED to be cheaper before that tax was increased

I take it the prices are high in the emerald isle.

Indeed. I think you're paying in £ and I'd be paying €, but as of November, petrol was €1.74 per litre.

What's so special about Doyle Motors' fuel?

Flippin' Oirish.

We have so much higher NJ State tax added then in the past. NJ USED to be cheaper before that tax was increased

NJ used to be so cheap it was worth paying the bridge toll to fill up! I knew that it had gotten more expensive after the gas tax was raised a few years ago, but last time I was in Jersey, it was still a few cents cheaper than NY. Not enough to justify the toll.

@Tiggerish
Nothing special about Doyle's forecourt , it's not even the most expensive locally

OK, so I hadn’t posted about this ‘cause I was trying to distract myself from it a bit, without knowing how or even if it would be resolved, but Pop has been in the hospital for the last few days. Before I go any further, all is well.
He was having shortness of breath whenever he was moving about, and he was coughing up black stuff (my apologies for that graphic), so he finally told my Mom that he needed to see a doc. She took him to the ER.
His BP was through the roof.
They finally dialed in the right BP cocktail for him Friday evening, and he’s been doing fine ever since.
We visited them (Mom and Pop - she’s been sleeping on a nice “cot” next to him) at the hospital again this evening. While we were there, he sat on the side of his bed with the little hospital table in front of him, and completely demolished the salad and steak they gave him for dinner…!!!!!
Anyway, he’s now doing great, they’re springing him tomorrow morning, and I should look so good, if I ever even get near being 92 years old…!!!

ETA…
They’re springing him this morning, actually…I wasn’t paying attention to the time…!!!!!

Glad to hear they have figured out what was wrong and that he is now doing well.

Thank you so very much…!!!
We are sooo beyond blessed for having both Mom and Pop in all of our lives for all these years…!!!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

It was $2.79 per gallon compared to $3.09 or more at nearby traditional gas stations.

Our gas price for regular at our local HEB just down the road…

 

[donaldtoo]

At least you know you have one person on this side of the pond who understands.

I get it, as they sell it by the liter there, and it’s off the charts per gallon…!!!

I gave a "like" to your post, only because the doctor was able to help out your dad, and he's going home today. That aside, it must have been scary for the family, when he was first admitted. Happy he's on the mend now.
