Yep, in East TN they were $1.94 over the weekend & today they are $2.09!
I guess this part of the country deserves it for electing Pukes all the dang time!

it was $1.99 the night before election and $2.29 on election day. Someone said that it is $2.39 today. How in the hell can it go up that much overnight?? I wonder.

9. Ask Congress to investigate. |

The next Congress, that is.
Gosh it's nice to say that and actually be hopeful of a result.

They're blaming the Dems for the rise in gas prices today.
Funny how that works:
Gas prices go down before the election; it's not politics.
Gas prices go up after the election; it's the Dems fault.

11. That's what the CONS get for voting GOP |
|
Sorry for the rest of you, but we knew this was a ruse, low prices like MAO-MART at the gas stations?

15. Kind of leads credence to the claims of price fixing before the election |
|
I don't think it's a coincidence that the prices fell when the GOP needed them to fall and they're rising when the Dems win. I think either the oil companies are punishing us for voting for change or they're trying to make as much money as they can before we reform the way the oil companies work.
