The wrong answer for high gas prices

Pick the best price OR only a half of a sale. It sends a double economics message.

EXCELLENT idea. Or do both. I have put off filling up but am getting to E. Think I will use the gas I have in my can for the lawmower and stuff instead of buying this week too. They want to keep the price up high, I will buy less. Bring it down, may buy more. Note to "gougers" if you can sell 1000 gallons at $3.50 or 1500 gallons at $2.50 where do you make more? Do the math "Big Oil"

What if it cost them $3.00/gal to make?

They just don't teach economics in schools anymore. They could even make it racially sensitive: Leroy and his possy of 5 show up at Walmart after the flood and there are 50 TV's available. Later on Tawanda comes to the same Walmart. Tasha and Pimpboy Sally are also there with their possy of 10 gang menbers. There is only 2 TV's left. Who will have an easier time obtaining a TV?

That's easy - the ones packing.

Yo, if that be the same Walmart I saw on the news, I think the police already be taking the last two TVs and there ain't none left.
