Look for another wave of local media posts from folks complaining that the gouge-y filling station they frequent for no apparent reason is still selling gas for 25 to 75 cents a gallon more than other places. I like to respond with a story about oil companies reporting record profits during the first and second quarters of this year. "Be sure you're mad at the right people for high pump prices."
