I was traveling westbound on I-80 and saw billboards advertising many motels and an Outlet Mall at exit #101. I thought that combination looked good for heavy competition and low gas prices. As I was pulling off the expressway I noticed the roadside sign only advertised a Standard Oil Station (I haven't seen one of those for nearly 30 years, thought they all changed names to Amoco) and realized this may have been a poor decision, it was. $2.549 for regular, full service only! Unfortunately my sons's Blazer was already below 1/4 tank and I don't drive it often enough to know how much further I could safely go.
The next exit, #78, had a TA truck stop with what appeared to be $1.989 for a gallon of regular as I blasted past on the highway at 70mph. My next fill-up was on the Ohio Turnpike (never really inexpensive) at $2.069 per gallon. I should have passed on exit #101 as soon as I saw only one station sign.
