SEATTLE GAS PRICES.....$3.00..$3.17 A Gal.

A woman tops off the tank of her GMC Yukon at a Union 76 in Seattle Thursday, spending just over $10 to do it. Ten dollars buys less these days, as gas prices climb toward $3 per gallon.

is that a typo?

Weird!

cause if they are filling up Yukons for just 10 bucks, sign me up for them prices...

do on foot.

I don't envy folks with a long daily commute.

I saw this lady driving a Denali today.

That thing was freakin HUGE and she was all be herself. It reminded me of a child driving a school bus. She looked tiny . Id hate to see what it cost to fill that baby up.

What's happened? The Iranian issue or something else.

Exxon CEO Lee Raymond blamed the problem on "global supply and demand" and assured the public that "we're all in this together."

This same ass that says "we're all in this together" made $69.7 million last year. That's over $190 thousand a day, including weekends. I suspect the Iran situation may just be an excuse to jack up the prices at the pump, but I'm just a dumb idiot that's not deserving of a $190 thousand bucks a day so I'm not sure. You know what I mean, Vern?

must be a typo. If that Yukon has a 30/33 gal. tank do the math..

can you imagine!!!

to fix our gas prices!! how dare you blame my buddy over here? I mean he is a God fearing honest man and-hey Bill?

::shot to empty chair where Oil Exec was sitting moments ago::

He was worth it...There is no price gouging...go try and make your own gasoline and see what it would cost you!!! You can't blame the oil companies they don't have enough refineries, so demand is high and so prices are high...As long as they keep the Iraqi flow to an acceptable trickle flow, profits will keep rising...thats the capitalist system at work...

"Under Raymond, the company's market value increased fourfold to $375 billion, overtaking BP as the largest oil company and General Electric as the largest U.S. corporation. Net income soared from $4.8 billion in 1992 to last year's record $36.13 billion.

Shareholders benefited handsomely on his watch. The price of Exxon's shares rose an average 13 percent a year. The company, now known as Exxon Mobil, paid $67 billion in dividends.

For his efforts, Raymond, who retired in December, was compensated more than $686 million from 1993 to 2005, according to an analysis done for the New York Times by Brian Foley, an independent compensation consultant. That is $144,573 for each day he spent leading Exxon's "God pod," as the executive suite at the company's headquarters in Irving, Texas, is known."
