Gas prices- wtf?

It seems like gas prices are jumping 5-10 cents a day again. Some are changing the prices 2 or more times a day.

WTF for? The prices were coming down to an ok price a few weeks ago but now theyre going crazy again.

There really needs to be some kind of regulation on the prices of gas but since oil companies run the government thats probably not going to happen.

Cool story, boy toucher.

IIRC the price of a drum of oil went up again like 15% so the price will probably fluctuate for awhile

Its fucking rediculous.

nice thread, paul

Crude went down, actually.

PJB, government regulations only would fuck it up more.

Thanks for the spelling help. Now go help Stockcarboy. Or have you given up on him completely?

and yet the gas thats been sitting around went up. Amazing.

Possibly. They already tax the shit out of it here.

WTF

What are your sources for “oil companies running the government”

That’s because the price is reflecting the costs of producing the oil that’s sitting in the tank.

Everybody wants things for as little money as possible and the highest quality possible. :lol Nobody stops to think for a minute about the true costs of producing and marketing something…

The news and shit. Everybody knows that the gas companies put money into politicians pockets.
Shit some of them even own oil fields, like Bush does.

Owning a successful oil field is probably one of the best fiscal decisions a person can make.

The oil in the tanks (actually gas at that point) was already paid for though.

I know the station up the road went up twice today and know for sure they didnt get two deliveries.

Don’t EVER question Paul’s sources. He doesn’t even need to list them.

Every major company has representation in the govenrment in the form of lobbyists, even the tooth paste you use.

With that logic, Colgate runs the government.

Then that’s price gouging. Report them.

Its practically every station around here doing that. Yesterday it was $2.699, at 6 pm today it was $2.769 and at 9 pm it was $2.789.
