Don't worry I'm confused also...Let's see if I can make sense of this.
Original topic was such that we substitute 'staples' (common goods which price is typically fixed...gasoline is a bit of a outlier) for actual currency.
When I said, "It's usually more a long the lines of, "****, I could get a half-quarter for the price of that CD""
I was referring to MJ, Mary Jane, Pot, Cannabis, Marijuana...a couple of guys said that they hadn't heard to an 1/8th of an ounce referred to as a half quarter before...I mentioned it was a Canadian thing...someone asked if I was from australia (jokingly)...and then you said that if it were australia gas would = petrol (which is indeed accurate).
My daily gets around 25-28hwy and not too far off that city. I fill it up once a week at around 25-32$.
Gas sucks but really what are you going to do...stop buying it . When I take out the mustang I run prem. and dont pay attention other than...I plan how much I am going to use so if it does not come out for long I dont have 3/4 tank of gas that has gone to crap.
