Is Gas gouging in full swing where your at??
Gas has gone up here 19 cents in the last 9 or 10 days. Of course we got nailed with another 8 cent hike just a couple of days ago for the upcoming LD weekend.

When the hell is someone going to organize a full blown boycott of these crooks? I realize it might be hard to do with some companies in certain cities but not in others but this crap is out of hand...

1. If they were gouging us...

why haven't they kept prices at these levels for the past 5 years?

supplies are down and seasonal demand is up, like always..
We have a holiday weekend coming up with lots of drivers on the streets...

I'm willing to bet 3 weeks from now, prices will be down .20-.30 a gallon..


wait and see.

2. Just wait, we will make some more
in 300,000,000 years. It is a fossil resource, remember. (Just having a little fun).

6. On Cape Cod
I stopped on Monday for gas and it was $1.69. Stopped again on Wednesday at the same station and it was $1.79. A dime more, in less than 48 hours? WTF?

p.s. Thom1102: I grew up in West Hartford!
