I came across a receipt from July of 2001. Over Fourth of July. Receipt for gas in Abilene Texas.
Gas was $1.299 a gallon.
Gas today is pushing $4 per gallon.
Anyone have their wages triple in that time??
It probably has if you own one of the big oil companies............

1. Gas here was $1.59/gal on 9/11/01. The day the gouging began. |

That was the reaction here to events in NY. Some stations raised their price to over $10.00/gal. Pictures were taken. The governor went on teevee and threatened them. There was no gas shortage, she said. (Sebelius)
Interesting that oil prices dropped yesterday.
