As I was driving along today I spied a gas station whose electronic billboard had malfunctioned in the blistering summer heat. Instead of giving the prices for the different grades of gasoline, it instead simply read
| Premium: | EEEE |
| Regular: | EEEE |
| Ethanol: | EEEE |
which, while not particularly helpful for indicating the actual exorbitant cost of gasoline, certainly captures the flavor of one’s response to whatever the cost probably is.
