WTF!!! $4.99 a gallon!!! My car was running out of gas in South Beach Florida so I decided to stop at a Gas Station

When I saw the sticker price for a gallon of gasoline at a Shell gas station in Miami Beach Florida , I was shocked.

Look: Same gas station with two totally different prices at the pump

"Are you guys serious?" I asked gas station attendant that was standing there. Five bucks for a gallon of gasoline?"

"Go to the other lane and you will pay $3.99 per gallon," he replied.

Same gas station. You are probably wondering why is one lane $3.99 per gallon and the other lane is $4.99 per gallon. Well, in Miami Beach Florida, in that gas station at least, if you want to sit your pretty ass in the car and have an attendant pump the gas for you, then you're gonna endup payong an extra buck per gallon.

Or guess what?

If you don't know or you don't look, you coud easily hand over your card to the nice attendant and say: "Fill it up regular." and it's not until you get the bill that you will realize you just paid five bucks per gallon.
