In my neck of the woods one of the big gas station chains is Speedway. Now in my big city of Portage Indiana (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif) we have three speedways. I took my boy to Nana's so she could watch him for the day and on the way home I thought I would stop and fillup the truck. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) The station by mom is $2.97 for regular, I thought I would check the other two. The next station is 3 miles in the wrong direction from where I needed to go but hey look they are $2.83, so like a dumass I stop and fill up the truck ($48). I pass the speedway which is about 1 mile from my house, damn...$2.63 WTF.
My little trip this morning was 8 miles, so there is a $.36 a gal difference between 3 stations all from the same company. Why (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) not that it really matters at these prices now days but still. |

Was just talking to a co worker about this very same thing. IF there is a shortage then there should be manditory rationing. I say that while I sit here in my home office listening to my backyard neighbors running their 4 wheelers and go cart. I think it would be a good thing, it would make people think before they just go and waste their fuel. I am trying to confirm something that I heard today on the radio. That oil from the Alaska pipeline is actually sold to Asia and other places. I have found nothing to back that statement up, but if it is true why would we do that and buy oil from places in the middle east? That makes no sense to me. oops, there I go spreading a rumor. Its just that Rumor that I can't find any trurth to. Sammy, good luck to you and your people. I have spent all day on calls working out details on how to restore cellular service (what we can) in New Orleans. We have a crew of 15 heading out in the next few days to help get switching service back up. |
