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. |

All this price acceleration has me puzzled. Some say the price for a barrel of crude is actually $21 so here is where the confusion enters. Nowhere have I seen our government suggest stepping in and identify those that are driving the oil up. I really want to know who is responsible. I want their names plastered on all the front pages of every newspaper in this country. Who they are, where they live and more than anything how they can get away with this. It's one thing to make a gain on an investment but to rape every man, woman and child with runaway gouging is a crime that should have a harsh punishment. Hell, the government has froze wages, price of gold and other things in the past and if the man in charge in DC won't say enough is enough, I think more than 80 million others who are going to be hungry and likely unemployed because of the Jackels doing this should be ready, willing and able to stop this dodo. What? Think of a Clint Eastwood movie title.
Fuel here has risen to $3.19 (87 octane), long lines and out of gas signs well over 2 hours ago. It is really sad we have to use this 914 bbs to say these things since those robbers doesn't have one. |
