Gas for Under a Dollar a Liter

With my PetroPoints discount it turned out to be 96.4¢ per liter. I've forgotten when it was last under a dollar a liter. It's been that long. Anyways, that within itself is no big deal.

What's interesting from my perspective is that I took this photo using my Canon SD1100. I put it into night snapshot mode and turned off the flash. I zoomed in a bit and held the camera at about a 30°angle facing upwards. Given that I did that quickly, since I didn't want to look like a complete idiot, I think this photograph turned out pretty good. The colours look good and the image of the sign, the price and lettering is quite crisp. Given that the SD1100 is by design a "point and click" camera I'm quite pleased with the result.
