North Mississippi we had gas at $3.51 this morning. By Noon it was $3.71 and by 5pm its at $4.50/gallon. There is no way to justify the increase because none had shipments today. The gas on the next delivery may cost more but today’s increase is simple price gouging.People are panicking and there are lines at the pump. Many stations are out of gas, some just out of regular and they are working on the others. Damn shame. They should publish the names of the higher ups of the gasoline industry and let the mad consumers take care of them. One is a little more caring when their name is on the line.
Yes, keep gas at $3.50, placing no pricing pressure on people to consume less. Then when there is no gas available you can smile as you look at the price sign saying $3.50 as you walk by because your car ran out and is parked.
