gas prices

[PJgunner]

I didn't have any problem getting gas last night other than the sticker shock. Went to fill the pick up truck and it was $2.60 a gallon for regular. In the roughly five minutes it took me to get back home, pick up my wife's Explorer to fill it up gas was $2.79 a gallon. I stuck my credit card in and it told me I had to go in and pay inside. They guy said the satellite was updating the prices again, to $2.90 a gallon as that is what it ended up at. Two price hikes in less than 15 minutes. OUTRAGEOUS!
There is a town about 50 miles away from Tucson that was charging $3.00 a gallon and limiting sales to ten gallons a customer.
Katrinais the big break big oil has been waiting for. Now they can get away with charging whatever they like for gasoline and there there isn't a hell of a lot we can do about it. you can bet that once those prices are up there, they'll never come dome. With both the president and VP oil men, you'll see no real help from that quarter. The Congress? Hell! Big oil and big business own them too. Have you seen any of them on the news saying they have to do something to alleviate the problem? I sure haven't.
Just goes to prove, we have the best government big business can buy.
