Forgot Gas Money? Deposit a Friend

without comments

Southbay isn’t the only place where gas prices are getting people into trouble!

The police interrogated the friend before releasing the human “deposit.” Don’t be fooled by the picture from Reuters on German gas prices, you’re probably looking at about $5.50/gallon of regular unleaded gas. See more from CNN/Money.
