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. ---

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

They already tax the shit out of it here. 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… ---

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

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