Why the HELL is gas still over $3.00/gallon???
Oil is under $90.00/ barrel now, and you can bet that if a hurricane hit land, the price would go up. But shouldn't it be around $1.89 about now???? It pisses me off since I AM trying to buy FOOD!

1. Gas station owners bought it at the higher price.
The price will fall as the current inventory is sold.

2. That claim only works for so long
6 months from now if the price is at $70.00 a barrel it will STILL be over $3.00 at the pump. Criminals!!!!!!

4. So why do prices at the pump go up the day there is an increase?

5. If we can nationalize the banks, we can nationalize the oil companies, too!
They better walk very carefully.
