bloody pirates

i am officially boycotting bp petrol stations. bad corporation, bad

every station in the western world, and in europe to the best of my recollection, has their pumps set up in the following manner:

unleaded - - super - - superdoubleplusgoodnexpensive

as i was filling up the tank this morning, i reached for the center nozzle, as i always do, when i noticed the price seemed abnormally high. that's when i noticed the little gas machine was set up like this:

unleaded - - superdoubleplusgoodnexpensive - - super

evil, evil british petroleum! and here i was giving them my business because i was having an anglophile moment. well enough of that nonsense, it's back to chevron for me. i've had a chevron account since before i even had a car; it amused me terribly to have a useless credit card although i suppose i could have stocked up on chips and beer and over priced beef jerky if i really wanted to give it a workout.



chevron all the way! or at least until such time as i live close enough to the office to walk, claire
