One gas station in St. Anthony seemed to sum things up nicely with this sign below his high prices reading, “We Hate Our Gas Prices Too.”<\/p>\n

The owner of Murphy’s Service Center is Chuck Graff. With his hands tied on prices, the least he can do is help his customers smile about it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s just kind of our way of letting the customer know that we feel their pain,\u201d said Graff.<\/p>\n

Drivers told us they appreciate the levity and empathy as they pull in to fill their tanks and cough up the cash.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you don’t have humor about it, you’re just going to sit there any cry,\u201d said Kyle Mohs.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s nice that they’re having a little fun with it,\u201d said Daud Nooh. “I mean, life has it’s challenges always, so it’s good to just put a little humor in life.”<\/p>\n

Nooh gave his larger vehicle a break to drive a sedan around instead to save where he can.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the other car I was driving it cost $ 100 almost to fill it up. So with this one I’m driving here, it’s $ 50, so it’s a big drop-off, \u201dsaid Nooh.<\/p>\n

Mohs is filling up his truck for a grand total of $ 120 on Thursday afternoon. He’s reminded by that comedic message that this surge is not any station’s fault.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere’s nothing they can do about it either, so to pay $ 5 a gallon of gas, it hurts the wallet, but you have to,\u201d said Mohs.<\/p>\n

There has been a nationwide record high for gas prices the last 13 days in a row.<\/p>\n
