Today, after completely refilling my almost empty gas tank, I witnessed the price flip from $3.69 per gallon to $3.59. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I pulled into the gas station to fill up only to realize I had forgot my wallet. By the time I went home, got it, and came back, the price had gone up eleven cents. FML
Today, I awoke from a dream that I'd found an Arco gas station that had regular gas for $3.38. I actually went looking for it. FML
Today, while working at a gas station, I accidentally changed the price of gas to 8.9 cents per litre. It took me fifteen minutes to figure out why everyone wanted only two or three dollars of gas. I fixed it, but now my managers are debating charging me for lost revenue. FML
Today, I went to the gas station, paid the clerk, and drove off without pumping any gas. FML
Today, I stopped at the gas station to fill up my tank and get some snacks. I paid the cashier, then got back into my car, totally forgetting to pump the $50 worth of fuel I'd just prepaid for. Too bad I didn't realize until my car came to a sputtering stop about a mile down the road. FML
Today, I replaced the fog lights on my car and completely filled my gas tank. $50+ later, the transmission decided it wanted to go out. FML
Today, I realized that I spend more money on gas to go to my job than what I get paid. FML
Today, my wife and I were driving to the gas station, she let me out before she pulled up to the pumps because I had to buy some things from the store. I returned to see my wife proudly filling the tank. Smiling, she told me that diesel was cheaper than regular gas. We don't own a diesel car. FML
Today, when paying for gas, I realized I'd forgotten my wallet back home. After a moment of panic, I managed to remember my card number. I paid, blowing the cute cashier's mind, and drove away, before my car started sputtering and slowed to a crawl. I'd used the wrong fuel. FML
Today, in an effort to conserve gas by using as much of the gas in my tank before refilling it, I ran out just before I could get to the gas station. Nobody can come bring me any. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I got lucky. One day I filled my tank and watched the price per gallon go up. Sorry op

Erm, you need more than 5 gallons to fill a tank. And every little bit counts.

I wish the Flying Nimbus was real, that way I can travel at high speeds without worrying about parking violations or gas prices!

Yeah, you might not have to deal with gas prices but you'll have to deal with screaming roid-ragers...

Well, having worked at a gas station before, I'll let you know that the price on the pump, once you start pumping, is the price you get. They can change the price while you're pumping, but it won't affect you because your purchase has already started. As a person note, I would always raise the price on the sign before raising it on the pump. I would also lower the pumps before lowering the price on the sign so no one could complain.

That does suck but you don't have it that bad. Where I live gas is $1.29 per Liter. There are 3.785 liters in a US gallon. You do the math. And we think that is a good price it's been worse. FML

I'm curious as to what the cost of living difference is though. I know things are a lot more expensive in my home state; but they also make much more than where I currently live, so it kind of evens out. Just a thought.

It's $2.26 a litre in New Zealand.

Your comment : That sucks, OP. But really - it happens all the time. No way to prevent it.

Isn't that a good thing?

Sure, for everyone else. For OP, not so much.

Well... Not much to say other than ask the cashier for the lower price. Maybe you will get it or what you pumped at the other price?

Did you mean 3.59 to 3.69?
bReLiNg 18
No, the price dropped while they were pumping silly X.X

This would not be an FML if that had happened, 26

"After completely filling"...indicates they'd already filled the entire thing at the higher price. So... It is an FML. don't worry though, I totally read it wrong at first too.

Where I live in Ireland, gas equates to $8.34 a gallon, try running a car on that...it sucks.

Yup, $8.48 per US gallon in deepest darkest Devon, the US doesn't have it so bad after all...

I just filled up on my way home from work. $4.06 a gallon is the cheapest in my home city, so even $3.69 seems like a bargain.
