Cheap Gas!
Right before any holiday, the price of gas at the pump soars. The reason always given is because of demand. So, here's a tip for those who want to buy their gasoline at reduced prices. Fill up between midnight and 5 a.m. The demand for gasoline is so low at those hours that it's practically a steal.

I'm a hair away from genius.

3. Hmmm. I don't think so.
The closest staions to me are right next to the freeway and they are busy 24 hours a day.

5. That's the point

11. I'm amused at the people who are taking this seriously.
it is a good anallogy, by the way. "a" hair is single, but "hair can be either. A hare is a big rodent.

9. No where
supply and demand should dictate that gasoline would be cheaper with less demand. Therefore, the marketplace is controlled. Econ 101.

10. I always buy gas late at night
Filling up after dark is better for the environment.
