What BBN said about it

  1. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNow to the pump.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorInflation rose to three point seven percent in September, driven largely by energy, and diesel could hit an all-time record this month.

  3. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWith us is lifestyle creator Tobias Haverkamp. Tobias, why turn this into a morning routine?

  4. Tobias HaverkampBecause everyone is stressed, Vera, and my Diesel Dawn routine starts with this green smoothie, sixty seconds of staring at a gas station, and code PUMP20 for twenty percent off.

  5. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorTwenty percent off what, exactly? Diesel trucks the groceries to your store, so this hits shipping and the checkout line.

  6. Tobias HaverkampEverything. Use code PUMP20, or actually PUMP50 now, and I can say the system loves me.

  7. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThat code doesn't exist, does it? And what do you drive?

  8. Tobias HaverkampAn electric scooter. But PUMP100 covers a whole tank, and the smoothie is basically a fuel.

  9. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA scooter.

  10. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorMy tank gauge says a record diesel price is empty, Tobias, and your code makes it emptier.

  11. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorDale would say one notch lower, and for once he'd be right. Chip has the news from across America.
