LUKoil

This Friday the LUKoil station (aka Coventry Petro) on Nooseneck Hill Road in Coventry will be offering $1.99 a gallon gas from 10:30 AM to 1:00 PM. According to the gas station attendant there is no limit to the amount of gas you can get; as long as you are not bringing a tanker truck or something crazy of that nature. Therefore, I would recommend that if you have some gas container laying around to bring them too.

There is apparently a radio station sponsoring the event. Accordingly, I expect there will probably be music and maybe a few give aways. Also, expect a long line of perhaps a mile or more; considering that the radio station is probably spreading the word rapidly and of course I am spreading the word too. Look for the LUKoil sign along route 3 in Coventry about 1 mile from exit 6 off of 95. Although the sale is from 10:30 to 1:00 they will allow the people who are in line by 1:00 PM to still get gas at the discounted price, although to be on the safe side I would recommend getting there early. That should give you the best chance of wasting the least amount of gas siting in line.

Aside from the wait time the only down side I can see is that if this promotion attracts more people to LUKoil this may to a degree be helping Putin and keeping Russia going so they can pull more stunts like they did in Georgia this past Summer. Although, this of course probably only a small consideration at best right now, since no matter what gas station you use you will likely be helping to fund volatile countries that may put the money towards violence.
