Price Gouging 1500 Miles Away |
|
This morning I filled my Camry at a local gas station for $2.63-9. This afternoon I drove by again and it was $2.71-9! Up 8 cents in a few hours while the Hurricane was still going! Un- fucking-believable! At least I got in while the getting was good (relatively speaking, of course!)

1. Within 5 miles of my house this morning I saw |
|
regular unleaded at 2.69, 2.59, 2.51, and 2.49 a gallon.
I live in Houston, and I know plenty of Pukes that are pissed off about this lunacy too.

7. Central Pennsylvania, no real change |
|
At least the Harrisburg vicinity. Prices aren't any worse than they were last week.
Guess they're working in stages...will probably go up by mid-week here.
