I am in need of pictures of current gas price signs in the following states:

Alaska
Connecticut
Idaho
Louisiana
Maryland
Mississippi
North and South Dakota
Oregon
Utah

What is need is a picture of the proverbial gas prices at a convenience store that show the there grades of fuel or similar.

If you would so kind to help, e-mail picture(s) in its origin format and size to [email protected]

Thanks!!!

google maps to any location in any state, zoom in to street view and snap a screen print.

or use gas buddy or other online gas price tracker ... gas buddy includes pics of stations and you could search for highest or lowest price in each state, depending on what hypothesis you're trying to support ... we all know that "data, when tortured sufficiently, will admit to anything" ... :)
 
If you're looking for current gas prices, google maps won't have it.

Actually the data is not the goal...

Ah, it must be a psychology experiment then to see who's gullible enough to go take some pictures for free. :D

Then he asked the wrong question. It should have gone something like this:

I have a nude supermodel here, and I can't find my camera. Anyone willing to come over and take some photos of her for free?
 
I'm guessing, based on the selected states, that this is a test of the "friendliness" of people, based upon their physical location...
 
I was thinking more like its a scavenger hunt, and he's got $100 coming if he wins. ;)
 
No, guys it is legitimate PhD project. These are the states that are left. I got Connecticut and have Alaska covered...
 
Could make it into a PoA scavenger hunt then.

Utah and S. Dakota are close to me, and I have this airplane thingy...

:)
 
Does getting to "play doctor" with one's female friend count as help towards a PhD project?
 
I really have to wonder what kind of "legitimate" dissertation project this could possibly be. The psychology experiment sounds reasonably plausible. Except it's statistics would be completely invalid. Psych grad students are supposed to understand self-selected sample bias (though I've run across quite a few who clearly don't).

Wonder all you want...thats what happens here on POA.

It is very legitimate and the quest is down to Utah and N & S Dakota.
