$3.89

Price Fixing? What price fixing?

Price Gouge Wednesday struck today as the e-mail and text message alerts were sent to loyal Meijer and Wall Mart customers that gas prices were going up today from $3.59 to $3.89 by noon. Long lines hit the gas stations as the prices all shot up on schedule at all stations in unison.

You can thank the Cant's for preventing this country from becoming energy independent as the price of gas exceed $4 by Memorial Day and stays that way thus destroying the economy by raising up the cost of everything which is already happening.

Wow, I better get gas today, I gassed up the Jeep at $3.49, think I'll hit the gas station tonight and fuel the car. Oh, well, $90 down the gashole! Funny the meteoric rise in gas prices only occured after Nancy Pelosi & Co arrived to "clean house!" BTW, before I hear any whiney voices saying it's not the Democratic Congress' fault, I recall that everyone blamed Bush and the GOP Congress for it before 2006!

I sure am glad the Dems got us out of Iraq like they promised. And they're working 5 days a week now! Hmm, I wonder, have the Democrats kept a single promise they made? Oh, yeah, raising taxes...

This is a great explanation of the tax rebate program recently enacted by Congress. If you don't understand how it will work maybe this explanation will help:

50,000 people went to a baseball game, but the game was rained out. A refund was then due to the ticket holders.

The President of the team, George W, was about to mail refunds when a group of Congressional Democrats stopped them and suggested that they send out the ticket refunds based on the Democrat National Committee's interpretation of fairness.

Originally the refunds were to be paid based on the price each person had paid for the tickets. Unfortunately that meant most of the refund money would be going to the ticket holders that had purchased the most expensive tickets. This, according to the DNC, is considered totally unfair. A decision was then made to pay out the refunds in this manner:

People in the $10 seats will get back $15. After all, they have less money to spend on tickets to begin with. Call it an 'Earned Income Ticket Credit.' Persons 'earn' it by having few skills, poor work habits, and low ambition, thus keeping them at entry-level wages.

People in the $25 seats will get back $25, because it 'seems fair.'

People in the $50 seats will get back $1, because they already make a lot of money and don't need a refund. After all, if they can afford a $50 ticket, they must not be paying enough taxes.

People in the $75 luxury box seats will each have to pay an additional $25 because it's the 'right thing to do'.

People walking past the stadium that couldn't afford to buy a ticket for the game each will get a $10 refund, even though they didn't pay anything for the tickets. They need the most help. They are either lazy or think that society owes them for just being born. Sometimes this is known as Affirmative Action.

Now do you understand?

If not, contact Representative Nancy Pelosi or Senators Hillary Clinton or
Barak Obama for assistance.

Funny, a small country like Brazil is oil independent, but here everyone always screams we need more oil! Go figure....

I guess they don't use as much oil destroying the rain forest as we do destroying our children's future!

Wow,it costs almost 20 bucks to fill up my motorcycle.

[Jim Prower]

$30 to fill up my 1988 Nova.

It really is a shame, though. Thanks to fuel economy averages, it's the last time we'll see the 600+ HP insanity that is this...



Which, by the way, has become the new "Most hated car in America By Liberals," replacing the Hummer H2. But it's not the only car at risk...



The Japanese try and give us a bit of goodwill by sending us their best car EVER, and our government legislates it into detuning.

good lord, if Hybrids weren't such a lie, (LS600h barely gets better mileage than 760i, Prius would have to go 200,000 miles before catching up to what you'd save buying a petrol Corolla) and automakers sacrificed a few of their unnecessary bits (sat-nav, sound deadening, 30,000W sound systems, heated seats, etc,) and made their cars lighter (Carbon fibre, aluminum, etc,) and people would stop screaming that the sky is falling just because they can't get smog out of Los Angeles, the world would be a better and faster place.

and yet, we're sitting on billions barrels worth of oil reserve, and yet, will they let us drill for them? Hell no, just because the site just happens to have an endangered cellular life form.

[Jim Prower]

I doubt it'll kill them, we have emission controls on manufacturing, but they look ugly, and if there's one thing the left don't like, it's ugly, despite the fact they like the Prius, which is ugly. Perhaps if we could make the pumphouses look like some sort of modern art they'd like it better.

I just think all they want to do is make it so it's impossible to speed. This way, no-one gets killed in nasty accidents. Eventually, cars will drive themselves.

Gawd, I hope that day never comes.

The best part,Sean,is that the Chinese are allowed to drill in areas of the Gulf that we aren't.

[muskokaandtahoe]

Be happy w/ $3.89. The local low price 'round here (yesterday) was $4.03

Say what?

[Kenny1234]

Oh boy, there's that pesky "drill more" argument.

Of course, nobody realizes that once they drill more, the price still goes up - because they still can.

Its all about being suckered at the polls, being idgit fodder for the higherups. No amount of drilling fixes that, my brothers.

BDS - CFR -Trilateral Commision - Knights Templar - Grail Code - Alien Abductions and cattle mutilations - Skull and Bones - Sheesh! next you'll be telling us there was no holocaust and that 9/11 was an inside job... LOL!

You're starting to sound like your tinfoil hat is leaking gamma rays and you've been channeling Rosie O'Donnel, Lyndon Larouche and Louis Farrakahn on the side...

[Paul1953]

Indeed, Chuck, all is sweetness and light. All those 'folks' at the top of the food chain have our very best interests at heart, don't they?
