Thumbs down There goes the gas

lets see whats the excuse this time...1.) it was a cool spring in the northeast and we had to produce fuel oil longer than normal.
2.)the memorial weekend driving was heavier than years past and we did'nt produce enough to offset demand so supplys are short so supply and demand are affecting the market....(pppsstt should I also tell them we shut down a major distribution pipeline for routine maintenace?)BBBBBBBBUUUUULLLLLLLLLL I saw it jump 5 cents today ..I bought it at 1.39 this morning and 2 hours later it was 1.44..deregulation?...when a company has 200 times the revenue than Microsoft and the goverment worries about Bill?.....half a Trillon in revenue?..it boggles the mind..a new 'Big brother' there folks...revolution? just turn off the tap and you could control the country within 72 hours...scary

That's nothing... here in Louisville/Jefferson County Kentucky, it'll jump upwards of 30 freaking cents OVERNIGHT.

Totally unjustified as well...

I understand that the stations are in business to make money and, in fact, I want them to make money and be successful but, gouging is where we have to draw the line.

Totally unjust.

That is odd. The gas prices here have been going down, very slowly, but down. Yesterday for 87 was 1.46, today it is 1.42

The gas companies are a bunch of crooked sumbiches.
Even here I've seen it just by as much as 12 cents per liter in the same day, and of course it always gets jacked up on the week-ends.

Crooked fochers!
