3.40 for gas today

Re: 3.40 for gas today
There was an article about this in the paper yesterday. The article said that "Americans aren't phased by increased gas prices".
The article said that spending hasn't gone down, and SUV and truck sales are higher than ever.
Seriously, people just aren't getting a clue about this ----. And oil companies know this, they have economists working for them. They will continue to push the price up until they see a decline in spending either on gas or other consumer goods, then the price will level off or go down.
Funny that Exxon reported the highest earnings ever, yet their C.O.G.S. is higher than ever as well. Go figure. Bunch of douce bags.

Re: 3.40 for gas today
my tank was a lil under half, and a i needed a car wash cuz the tree i park under at work is pollenating again (basically it takes a ---- all over my car), so I figure $10 for gas, $6 for the standard car wash. 3.159 for 91 octane. my needle is now just over half tank as opposed to just under it was $10 ago
a dude from a nearby small parts store was walkin there to get some candy and snacks for the guys over there, and he stops to complain to me, and tells me about how supposedly if everyone started buying gas from the smaller companies, it will go down, since the big companies are just raking in the dough.
this was at a shell, and i used to goto 76 just a block away but it shut down.. i think im gonna start going to safeway, since the gas there isn't too bad, but it's like 10 cents cheaper than shell, plus if my mom spends $50 there I get like -.05 per gallon

stop blaming the oil companies, blame the government for not letting them build infrastructure to be able to produce enough gasoline, blamethe govenrment for not allowing them to explore for more oil
