Gas station owners just got out of bed in Chicago...

[BiggJawn]

WBBM is reporting that gas prices have jumped 10-15 cents in the last HOUR....
Cheap gas is now $3.60 in the Windy City....Premium (Gas for Bush-bots)is nuzzling $4....

Where is your OUTRAGE, Murka?

(Sorry to bring this to the lounge, but GD is closed)

1. That's a dollar more than here in Orlando

I just filled up at 2.60 per gallon for unleaded.

4. Yes, but where we live in "Orlando," it's a staunch Republican

county. Wonder what it's like in downtown Orlando.

2. At this point, I am smiling.

Sure, I'm sorry for the poor folks who tried to prevent it.. but if this is what it takes to wake up the voters, so be it. No pity for America here.

Edit: I just wish Chicago were spared.. they voted so intelligently..

3. This morning, taking WCSjr to school, I noticed

gas at Kroger was $2.71, but that Go-Mart has it for $2.55 still. Guess which had lines...

5. Not patting myself on the back or anything BUT I said a while back that

the price of gas would be the thing that would turn the die-hard bush**bots against their fearless leader. And it's happening right now. Of course the reason is that it's hurting his supporters now, the Hummer crowd.

I've been taking a bus or staying home. Looks like a lot of others may be joining me.

6. oh my god...

You people living in america complain about gas when its still under 5$ a GALLON. In finland i used to pay >1euro for a LITRE. But hey, here in china i only pay 20c (euro) for a litre ^^. And that's premium.

8. You wanna know what the damn difference is?

In Finland, much of that gas money goes to services for the citizens of that country. Here, it just pads the pockets of the oil industry. If we were getting health care in exchange for pricier gasoline, I'd be all for it.

9. thank you

you are absolutely right.

[BiggJawn]

10. I'm real tired of this argument....

All you Euro-trash come to Murka and try living HERE with these prices, lack of mass transit, food and toilet paper available in some strip mall 10 miles out of town AND for the shitty paychecks we do it for.

THEN I might give your "We pay a buck a LITER" whine some creedence...

7. $3.69 in Chicago
