He is so angry right now
He's talking to himself

He just said "We'll be burning the furniture this winter to keep warm"

14. $2.69 at 10:00 am, $3.19 at 3:00 pm in Cincinnati.
Unbelievable. And when I warned everyone at work to fill up the night of the hurricane, they looked at me like I had three heads.

11. No price gouging going on here.
So the Oil execs. who were 'embarrassed' about their OBSCENE, as they called it,profits are probably positively giddy with the jump in prices at the pump. Will Congress call for investigations? Are they just going to let the Oil companies get away with this? :argh:

16. I wonder how much of this is Labor Day weekend pricing
and how much is price gouging. Guess we'll find out come Tuesday.

18. It's up only 4¢ over what I paid last night
Edited on Wed Aug-31-05 04:11 PM by Jack Rabbit
$2.77 vs. $2.81/gallon west of Sacramento. That's still outrageous. And those are Arco prices!
