Austin Area Gas Prices
posted by pylornsIt’s actually interesting, I went to my first non-denominational church on easter of this year. Now another Church in the Austin area is doing this:
Members of the HighPoint Fellowship, non-denominational church in Cedar Park, will buy down the price of regular unleaded gas to $2.49 at the Exxon station, 1900 Bagdad Road in Cedar Park, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday. Customers will get to pay that low, low price for their gas as the church pays for the rest.
Austin-area gas prices hit an average of $3.44 this past week, according to AAA Texas.
The last time Austin-area gas prices were at the $2.50 range was in March of last year.
Wow, now that’s cool stuff. I just hope if I manage to get out there, people are respectful when they go to fill up and don’t fight over the lines.

Cheap gas is cool and all, but doesn’t a church have better things to do with its money than subsidizing the rat race? There’s this whole “record food prices” thing going on…

Sure, they were looking for a way to drum up more paritioners.
