...Meanwhile the Oil Companies are GOUGING the entire nation.

I paid 3.29 a gallon yesterday for the same fucking gas in the ground the day before.

1. Now THOSE are Bush and Cheney's people.

2. This is happening

everywhere and it's not JUST the big oil company's. It's also the owners of the franchises that are price gouging. When the price is raised .40 over night and you have 30,000 gallons of (Product) in your tanks you are making one hell of a profit.

3. My local Sunoco went up A DOLLAR overnight!

Thursday night it was $2.89 for regular. I drove past again last night, and it had jumped to $3.89 for regular!

In my immediate area (about 6 block stretch on the same road) there's a Coastal, Hess, BP, Sunoco and Getty. Immediately after the hurricane they were all between $2.49 (Hess) and $2.79 (Sunoco)... the others were all about $2.69). By Tuesday or Wednesday, Sunoco was the CHEAPEST at $2.89 and all the rest were $3.25 (Sunoco is ALWAYS 5 to 10 cents more expensive then any of these other stations). Last night Sunoco jumped up A DOLLAR overnight to $3.89, Hess is at $3.49, and all the others are at $3.69.

Until the hurricane, all of these stations were in a range of a few cents except for Sunoco which was always 5 to 10 cents more expensive.

THERE IS NO WAY THIS IS NOT GOUGING!

I've been trying to call the complaint dept. at the PA attorney general's office, and the line's been continually busy (but I'm still trying). They have an online complaint form, but I'm not filling it out because I won't put all the personal information they require online.
