In an effort to find the lowest priced gas in Sacramento, I've decided to have a contest. The only thing I have for prizes are a bunch of used videotapes, but it is always fun to win something, even if it is kind of lame.

Here is how to win:

1.  Find a gas station with a lower gas price than the one posted on www.cockeyed.com/139.php
2. Send me an email with the details.

write

The price at www.cockeyed.com/139.php is updated every day, and I've got my eye on the three cheapest stations in town (#039, #027, #045) so it won't be easy. You'll just have to beat me, or the other Sacramento Gas Connoisseurs to report on them.

Here is the list of the movies you can pick from: First win, first claim. The light-colored ones have already been claimed.

Rules: Must be at least 13 years old to enter. I won't send R-rated tapes to you unless you are over 18. Only the first person reporting a lowest price will win a videotape. I'll mail the videotape to your house. No purchase necessary. Void where prohibited. Videotapes are previously viewed. Most of them have cases, but not all of them. Participants must agree to arbitration outside of the US court system for conflicts arising from this contest. Offer scheduled to continue until June 15th, 2003. Offer may be halted at any time. Low prices will be verified before prizes are awarded. Thanks. 

Good luck, and thank you!
