You're telling me you don't fill up your car?

Every single gas station in the US of A uses a sub-penny pricing scheme. I have not seen a sigle exception yet.

I don't own a car. I take public transit, bike and walk.

OK, you're a hardy soul then. I support your efforts. 💫

I appreciate your reply. And I also understand its not 100% black and white - its complicated. But I feel strongly we gotta fight back against bullshit behavior in this world in any way we can if we want people to act better.

You give me hope, thank you.

Reading this wholesome exchange, today I'm going to fight back extra hard against all the bullshit and act better.

Thank you both for reminding us.
