This is a dog and pony show to keep pump prices jacked up.
I was almost with you till this bullshit statement
And you're probably correct, seeing as gas prices at many stations in this area dropped 35 cents a gallon late this morning, from $3.09 down to $2.74. Some stations remained unchanged at $3.09 late this afternoon, which is a mystery to me. We'll see how fast they go back up, but for now, I'll take it.
It shows how people get "conditioned" to higher gas prices though. A year ago I would have been screaming at seeing gas at $2.30/gal and now I'm happy to see them at "only" $2.74.
Gas prices have doubled in three years no matter how you slice it, that's a fact, and no matter what the cause, it just ain't right. Someone is lining their pockets bigtime at the expense of millions of people.
