gas prices upupupupupupupupupup

just two days ago i filled up at 2.17, at the same station 2.37.
Did the gas companies give Bush his one good poll, then decide to continue on?
I also notice that the "inflation" rate is steady because of "falling" energy prices. yeah. like a superball.

2. Here too, I started a thread late last night that I was just about to...

3. Game, set, match

The consistent price gouging, ummm I mean price variation, of gasoline/natural gas is directly tied to, IMO, the administration. The idiot make-believe president has given these thieves carte blanche in appreciation for their high efforts to put him in DC.
And one more sheeple who cries "supply and demand" as an explanation will only further inflame this businesss owner/MBA. There's about as much supply/demand in this equation as there was a legitimate reason for the fascists to invade Iraq.
Let's see now... Iraq / price of oil....
nah, it's all supply and demand!

4. "Holiday Travel Season"

Same excuse every year.

"Supply and demand" is economic speak for, "We can do it because we can."

5. I really believe gas prices were down for Thanksgiving because

"they" knew that high gas prices during the most-traveled time of the year would be bad publicity for you know who :eyes:. Now that the focus is off nationwide travel and Thanksgiving has passed, it's back to business as usual. Of course, they couldn't raise prices too quickly after Thanksgiving--too obvious. Collusion is at an all time high in BushCo.
