It was just a few weeks ago we got down to around the high 3.50's, inflation can explain the rise over time but .60 cents in a couple weeks I don't think is related to the value of the dollar like the articles Kut posted. That's another 12.00 to fill my tank, if you have a bigger vehicle or truck it's got to be ridiculous.
Two guys ate chili-dogs at lunch and farted on the refinery premises...thats good for .35 per gallon increase.
Don't forget the Nigerian that got a fart cross sided and could not expel it either, that's good for .30 a gallon also.
Two biggest rip offs going, insurance and gas prices.
They make a ton of profit on both of them and laugh hand in hand as they both got to the bank with record profits.
Oh goody, I get to hear the ranting from folks tonight at work.
As a side not, please don't rant/rave/yell at the folks behind the counter at your local gas stations about the price jump. We don't control the prices. Furthermore, we rarely make a profit on the fuel we sell. This is an honest to God, hand on the Bible statement from me, a guy who manages a station. We've actually had stretches of 2-3 weeks where we lost money on the fuel we sell. When we do make money, it's on the order of 1-2 cents per gallon. If I could post the finiancials to prove it I would, but please believe me, it's true.
Yeah, $4.25 around me, too. But, being as I'm a Sam's Club member I only paid 3.88 at the pump today. My membership pays for itself at the pump, in the course of a year.
Why so you sell gas if you make no profit?
Did I wake up and miss a refinery explosion or another scare in the middle east? Gas is now $4.25 here in Greenfield.
