It takes a REAL leader to speak up.



"Yet, according to Schweitzer, the refineries in Montana get their crude oil from Alberta, Wyoming and Montana, and the cost of that oil hasn’t risen this week.

Montana refineries in Billings, Laurel and Great Falls shouldn’t be affected by developments in the Gulf, and therefore have no reason to raise prices so dramatically, he said.

“I’m calling on them to be good neighbors and roll back prices to the same prices that (they) had last week,” he said."

4. MT gas prices

This is very interesting. Gas has jumped 35 cents a gallon in Montana in the last 3 days...we're up to 2.85 a gallon (which I know is nowhere near what you guys on the east coast have endured, but still...)

Grrrrr........ :mad:
