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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after completely refilling my almost empty gas tank, I witnessed the price flip from $3.69 per gallon to $3.59. FML
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 realized how boring and sexually deprived my life is when I found a gas station ten cents cheaper than the one I usually use. It gave me both an asthma attack and an erection, simultaneously. FML
Today, I went to the gas station, paid the clerk, and drove off without pumping any gas. FML
Today, I realized that I spend more money on gas to go to my job than what I get paid. 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, 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, 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, I left the house to DoorDash and remembered that I forgot to get gas last night. I had just enough gasoline to make it to Costco for better prices. It wasn’t until I pulled in that I realized I'd left my wallet at home. I have approximately two miles of gas left. FML
Today, I was sitting at home when I remembered that I desperately needed gas for my car. On my way there, I prayed that my car would make it the whole way, and was thankful when I pulled up to the pump, because I knew my car wouldn't go any further. Then I realized I left my wallet at my house. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You think gas prices are ridiculous? European average is over 6.5USD/gallon. I'm in Canada paying 1.27CAN/liter which translates to over 5USD/gallon.
happylappy 21
No it doesn't "translate" to 5 USD. It's 97 American cents for every Canadian dollar.
Welshite 40
97 cents is close enough.

My bad. They've been at about par for months now, a penny or three either way. That's the number I used with my quick and dirty math. Actual numbers based on todays prices would be closer to $4.75 I can't fault 16 for the correction. It's they type of thing I'd do.

Gas in my town has dropped to about $3.20 a gallon.

Would kill to pay that for gas...

That's why I ride my motorcycle, cheaper, and fun.

Just paid 3.13 in Middle Valley Tennessee. I wish I could share cheap gas with everyone across the states! :)

16 probably didn't notice the liter vs gallon.
CueTheMusic 22
In England a litre of petrol is an average of £1.34. Our gallons are about 4.5 litres but I think an American gallon is about 3.75 litres, so we pay the equivalent of about $7.50 a gallon (US) for petrol. Yours is cheap!
lilhellian 27
I use a friend to get me on a military base so it's cheaper and no taxes! :D
your_ma 27
In the UK it's the equivalent to about $9 a gallon :(
mansen 15
I was about to say, gas in my province in Canada is about 1.25 a litre and it keeps going up about every 2 days it seems. Welcome to summer, no driving anywhere.
GoodLookingGeese 10
That's quite funny to read these comments, when I was last visiting the US the price went down from 1.09$ to 0.99$ because of the I war in the gulf.
GoodLookingGeese 10
I'm in Europe and currently I pay 6.45$ per gallon of '95 and it was already more expensive so the media call it cheap ;)
addie19 6
Prices are currently that low in nc right now.
maarkblack 9
Right now it's about 4.15 for Chevron, and 3.90 for Arco. I'm always at Arco.

I remember here in Canada 10 years ago when gas prices were $0.67/liter, Food was cheap and Bus fares were $1.50 (it's $3 now). Now everything doubled, I guess that's how inflation works
stanjohnson 11
$3.13 is still not cheap.
lj1207 6
I paid $3.05 and I'm in the us at a Brookshires
shadow1690 9
# 94. I filled up about two weeks ago at 1.29 a litre where I live and when I went the other day it was at 1.39 a litre...I miss seeing it at 1.08...
ryukensfj 5
It's not too bad. I paid $.019 per gallon a couple days ago :)
hellbilly205 17
$3.11 around base here, on base its about $3.24.

Oh I can't even belive you guys, no frickin wonder the US is so high in carbon dioxide emissions. I pay an equivalent of over 8 dollar a gallon, and thats on the cheapest station within over a hundred miles. How can the world only superpower be so unbelivably irresponsible as to even allow prices like yours? It's just entirely beyond me.
crazy1999 1
Weve got gas for $3.15
mansen 15
#145 Driving to college today, saw the stations raising the prices up to $1.35 to $1.37 a litre. I am cringing to see what prices summer brings. I remember bitching at age 18 that gas went up to $0.49 a litre and I had to drive a half hr to work every day. Well, I made crap money then too, but...ah, nostalgia over gas prices lol
meeexxx 18
Ridiculous?????? we pay 8,71 US / Gallon (1,78 euros/liter) in the Netherlands, you Americans should stop whining
xjjourrdannx3 3
They pay per liter. That's way smaller than a gallon genius. Gas where I live in MA is 3.32/gal
dragonrider1959 18
I've seen a place with $2.50
Nezumi04 20
I don't know were you guys live, but our gas prices are at a all time low at only $1 a gallon. It's a beautiful thing. T3T
Justkidding100 41
yeah same here, in Michigan we only pay about 2.00$ a gallon and it had just gone up
firefighter925 18
Let me into your dreams! !!
Lucia_Malpense 14
I was confused about this FML at first, because here in Canada, gas is about $1.50 where I live... Per litre, of course, instead of gallons. Why can't the US use the same units as the rest of the world?
iLike2Teabag 27
The same reason that different languages still exist in the world.
Kilv 13
No it is not. Langage is about our history. Geometry is about logic.
therealafroninga 10
Because America is the best country in the world. Yes, it is, and that is an indisputable fact.
theaaxis 27
Who wouldn't?
NoFlippinWai 24
did you find it, op? where was it?
keverdeen 14
Hey it could have been a sign?
Ilikepie82479 20
Here in the future, gas is down to the low $2 mark
killuhand 12
I wish our gas stations had cool names like Acro...citgo isn't really doing it for me
simoncat 11
ARCO means Atlantic Richfield. But the company is owned by BP, British Petroleum. (The company that ruined our gulf states but took no responsibility for doing so.) Citgo; The company is owned by PDV America, Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A., the national oil company of Venezuela. The company has its headquarters in the Energy Corridor area of Houston, Texas

@17 - The history tangent was about as interesting as watching a cow chew...and I love watching cows chew.
JFloUnknown 24
Yay facts! Do me next! Valero & Exxon!
seacadet 18
They (BP) paid for the whole clean up.. It wasn't their fault... Inspectors failed on there duty's and that resulted in an accident... Shit happens.. The gulf is pretty good now.
perdix 31
#30, I have a great girl for you!!!
RedPillSucks 33
Less interesting fact. Exxon was rebranded from Esso in the early seventies or so.... @34 I hope you're not saying that BP actually completed the cleanup because there's still tonnes of oil globs in the gulf. They get washed to shore during every storm. There are also a lot of people who haven't been adequately compensated for losing their livelihood.
Zebediabolical 45
If that's the case there is a girl who posted an FML less than a week ago that you may be interested in going on a blind date with.
Jessj958 19
Very true #34....although BP provided some compensation, it was no where near what it should have been. A lot of people got money that shouldn't have, as they lied on their paperwork, and a lot of people that got money didn't get anywhere close to what they deserved. I live in the panhandle of Florida, and although our beaches didn't have tons of oil that we could really see, we lost a lot of business that year and tons of money. I was able to file a claim and receive some compensation, though it was not even close to what I lost. Same goes for a lot of people I know. Meanwhile, the county won't even settle for $9 million. Wish I could get a small chunk of that!
tj4234 36
Well actually #17 your facts are slightly wrong. BP is now owned 60% by America. As such, it is no longer called British Petroleum. It was re-branded years ago as 'Beyond Petroleum'.

If you build it, they will come.

we have to go cheaper.

Probably in Limbo.

I dreamed a dream where gas was cheap
challan 19
Went looking for it and used what little gas you actually had up. Sorry OP!
maarkblack 9
It's okay :) I have a Prius now!
bamagrl410 31
Gas actually is that cheap here in Texas... Passed several stations earlier that were 3.26
fareith 15
A Prius can actually be more expensive, considering the battery has to be replaced so often. Also, the dead batteries are dumped off the coast of China, so it really doesn't help the environment.
