Busy day at the gas pumps

[Casandra]

I can remember how many of us were speculating on why the gas prices dropped so much right before the election. Was this all being manipulated by the government? I too, believed right after the election, they would spike! Well folks...here in California, it must have been a busy morning for the pump pricers,....cuz yesterday the $2.17 per gallon has, today, taken itself to $2.29 per gallon. Moving like wildfire, getting those prices back up. Anyone else wondering if these prices have been manipulated by the government??!! Proof positive!!

I expect to see them close to $3.00 per gallon by Monday of next week...and still climbing. The oil companies know the 'jig is up' and the Dems are gonna clean up the mess. I guess they gotta get their last bit of 'gouging' in before the 'end'...

1. My freeper boss has already blamed it on the Dem. victory

The scary part is he really seems to believe it.

4. Freepers Jeepers. You can tell just by looking who are the freepers today. I notice they are

pink-faced and unsmiling, wearing business suits, and when they pick up a newspaper, they choose the Arts & Entertainment section, anything but the front page.

Tell your boss it's the Repugs who are buddy-buddy with the Saudi Oil Family They manipulate prices on behalf of the * Crime Family to influence Ameircan politics.

6. Well...those oil companies don't need to keep prices low anymore

since the election is over.

12. He's right. Uncle Bandar did his good deed for junior but it didn't work.

So now he can go back to business as usual.

15. Tell him everyone

was already expecting it after the election..even the gas station attendents.

We've done nothing but good so far..rummy's gone, isn't he? Tell him that.

2. I heard crude went up $1 a barrel. $53 or something. Yeah, fill up asap.

This was the plan all along, regardless of the outcome. I cannot wait to be free from Big Oil.

[jpak]

3. It's over $60 a barrel today

and gasoline WILL be >$3.00 a gallon by Thanksgiving.

and the new DEM Congress IS going to take them to task next year...

5. Did BigOil not hear that there is a new sheriff in town?

And she is tough on swindlers.

9. Gas went DOWN two cents here since yesterday.

Boise area.

This is not saying much, of course, because were still paying 2.35-2.39 around here. Now it's two cents cheaper.

I'd have been thrilled to be paying the 2.00 to 2.20 many people have been paying around the country for several weeks.

10. Oil Co.'s will hike prices with a vengeance, fucking the economy backup again...

besides, the Christmas buying season is almost here.

[KatyaR]

13. My gas station here had jumped back up to $2.05 last week,

but yesterday morning the price had dropped back to $1.99.

This morning--$2.07.

Now tell me that there's a "real" reason the prices change. Somebody's pissed, that's why.

[Ilsa]

14. Yeah, it went up 14 cents per gallon here.

Regular unleaded went from $1.86 to $2.00 per gallon. Nasty gasoline companies.

16. Gas prices went up from Monday in the San Diego area. I've been

watching sandiegogasprices.com and they'd been falling, falling, falling, and now, it looks like that trend is reversing.

[lonestarnot]

17. Bastards. I don't know what shit we should tackle first!

[lindisfarne]

18. Gas prices are up 2.4 cents on average nation-wide over the last day

based on the data at sandiegogasprices.com (in left hand column; scroll down a bit) (up 4.4 cents in SD area)

19. I knew they would punish us with more dollar theft and they are not

making it a secret. Watch home heating triple in December.
