GAS PRICES and Congress

[radfringe]

We've all been screaming about the gas prices, congress is at least giving the appearance of dealing with the issue, bush* "hopes" oil companies do the the right thing with their profits

Gas went down in my area today - from $2.95 to 2.89/gal

geee, what a coincidence? NOT

what about your area?

3. Up TWICE yesterday

Regular was 3.10 at 6 am when I was driving to work, up from 3.07 the day befor. At 430 yestarday afternoon, it was at 3.11. How can gas thats already in the tanks get more expensive? I dont get it?

6. It's called "futures," which translates as "screw the consumer"

4. Up, up and away...

Sixteen cents in the last week. Then again, I live in Congressman Jim McDermott's district, in one of the bluest parts of Washington State.

Coincidence?

7. Louisville, Ky - $2.83 - $2.95 at most places

The $2.83/$2.84 is new today...down about 3-4 cents.

8. Stayed the same here in western New York........

when the wholesale price of gas rises the change is instantaneous at the pumps. It doesn't seem to have the same effect when prices decrease however. :eyes: Hmmmm........wonder why that is? :shrug: Maybe that's one of the reasons BIG OIL sees record profits every quarter? Just a hunch.
