$3.55 is cheap for you guys? It was down to $3.13 here in FL a few weeks ago. Now the highest I see is $3.39.

It's roughly $3.29 down here (Arkansas), also some of our gas stations have tv's on the pumps but they mostly just push ads mever saw a full on weather forecast.

@Phoenix87 said:

Damn, you're gas pumps have tv's. We don't got shit on the East coast.

Not true, we've got gas pumps with TVs on Long Island.

Really, they just show ads and weather on there, though, so it's not a big deal.

also, it's "your"

We will never know what kind of drink Ryan got.

Did anyone ever make a Bevis and Butthead arcade game? I feel like someone should have. Anyways, totally wish I could go to California Extreme! Maybe next year for me.

sweet shit, you guys were driving through novato. that's like 15-20 minutes south of where i live haha

i live stupidly close to petaluma. and i am not stalking you.

Sooo... Ryan remembered to pack the hummingbird mask, right?

RIGHT??

Now I want to go on a road trip.

rich people talking = the reason I am no premium member anymore ...

This might be the dumbest comment of the year. Kudos.

Nothing like "rich people" carpooling to work in an old SUV, talking about buying second-hand arcade cabinets. Damn rich people, and their.... money to spend on stuff.

3.55/gal is not cheap, we're just so used to getting fucked that it seems cheap :(

Anyway...good luck getting Tapper!

$3.55/gal IS cheap.

It's currently $1.27/litre here in Nova Scotia, which is $4.76/gal.

Americans always bitch about expensive gas, when theirs is among the cheapest.

And if the internet (and my math) is to believed, Brits are paying 1.33 GBP/litre (2.10 CAD/litre, or 7.91 USD/gallon). Well over twice as much.

I only want one. It's a T2 machine and I remember that it had two uzi's.

Damn it America, can you stop watching TV for one moment? Please think about what you have done.

these people talking = the reason I am a premium member ...

Guys, it's really dangerous to have a cell phone around when you're pumping gas.

I watched this show about it one time, Mythbusters? You've probably never heard of it before.

You guys should do more videos like this.

Get tough, Jeff. Get tough.

Yeah, I filled my gasp guzzler up today, it was £1.33 a litre. Too expensive for my liking.

I paid 3.71 this morning :(

NEVER!

Anyone happen to have seen a floor plan for the place? Like to get a lay of the land before I hit it tomorrow.

There's a "<>" symbol at 7:20; it's a sign!

Actually that was busted. The issue lied with people getting back in their car and the seats creating the static charge. They got out and did not touch any metal to dissipate the charge (left the door open). When they reached towards the handle of the nozzle the spark can ignite the fumes.

More videos like this, please. I eagerly await the Bombcast talk in regards to California Extreme. It's definitely some of my favorite shit to hear about during the summer.

Also, you guys have LEDs in your gas station pumps? Future, man!

@ld50: i thought they busted that myth regarding cellphones and pumping gas. It was actually caused by static being built up in certain types of clothing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeRJkde7iHo&feature;=youtube_gdata_player

@LD50: also you're comment sorta backfired on you since you cited something that actually contradicts what your claiming.

Yeah, the cell phone isn't the big deal, but opening and closing the doors to get stuff out of the car is probably more dangerous.

Really bummed I can't make it this year. In the market for an Arkanoid cabinet if I could find one. Last minute plans derailed the visit.

watching these videos always makes me want to go on a road trip *sigh

Its all relative though. Yea, other countries pay more, but $3.55 is close to the highest its ever been in America, so of course Americans are going to complain. Gas being higher in other countries is completely irrelevant because Americans have never experienced those prices.

But I take comfort in believing it was the perfect one.

Record with the windows open on the highway, what could go wrong?

I really need to drive down from Oregon for this next year. Fortunately we have a pretty good retro arcade here in Portland, so I'll make my own little California Extreme.

Rolling the window up would have really made this video watchable.

Neat gas station :D Three more years and it's hoverboard time. It better be ;)

Is this actually the first 'Jeff & Ryan driving' video to officially hit GB? Either way, I love it - audio quality flaws and all. Great and natural style. Some interesting arcade talk and I cannot wait for your thoughts on the show. That and your potentially reckless purchasing list of course.

Im all like "TV at the gas pumps?!" then I see the weather and wish I was there even more. Its been almost a month of 100+ weather.

Wonder if there's any NARC machines for sale?

Hell yeah. Also,

THIS IS STREET FIGHTER ALPHA THREE.

@MjHealy said:

Can't wait for next week's Bombcast, should be plenty of CAX stories to be had.

Same here. The CAX Bombcasts are always great.

San Francisco? more like San Franwindsco. Yeah!

I live exactly 12 minutes away from CAX, and every single fucking year I'm out of the state for it.

small tvs at the gas station that are blabbering all day long? holy fuck america.

@mortal_sb: there are several gas stations with TVs here in virginia

man, sounds like a pretty fun weekend. work non-stop for me. not as fun but money.

I live in NY and have never seen a gas station with a TV at the pump. That's pretty overboard imo

But what kind of drink?

I also hate that gas station. Fun fact: For the past month or so, those awful TVs in the pump have been running a commercial that has my wife's ex-boyfriend in it.

Not cool gas station. Not cool.

Not that I mean to laugh at your plight, but that's an extremely specific complaint, haha.

(I'm sorry.)

Sheesh guys, if you're going to record a video in the car, put the window up.
