The Lighter side of Gas Prices

[ordnance11]

Someone placed these on a forum I fequent and I thought someone should get a kick out of this:

Regarding that last one: a local mom-n-pop gas station here (who have closed their doors now, alas) had, at the start of the sharp upswing last year, a sign
reading:

ARM 9/10

LEG 9/10

SOL 9/10

I was vastly amused, both by the wordplay, and then also by the thought that premium gas would cost me the Sun.

Not being a spiritualist, I can't be certain, but knowing the general disposition of most people I believe they weren't using 'Sol' as sun, but
as Soul. Maybe. Makes some sense, at least (i.e. Sell your soul for a tank of gas).

*slaps forehead*

Obviously I'm more of a geek than I thought. Either of those would be more likely than my interpretation.
