| Vancouver gas station creates frenzy over free gas
Anyone get free gas today?
VANCOUVER, Wash. -- Some drivers in Vancouver were feeling lucky the morning of Friday the thirteenth as they waited in line for some free gas.
A Vancouver gas station teamed up with the Washington lottery to offer a free ten-gallon gas fill-up, for the first 200 customers who purchased a Washington lottery ticket.

| That's on the other side of town from me. Maybe if they had that going on at the Arco by me, I'd wait over night.
People are getting a little extreme nowadays. Although, even if gas was "cheap", people would still wait in line  |

You have to wonder how much gas (and time) is wasted by people going out of their way, and then idling along/inching through lines to get their "free" $40 worth of gas. |

I probably live 30 to 40 miles east from that free gas, and the closest gas station is 5 miles away, not gonna happen around here, so it wouldn't be worth the drive.
