We're raising the prices at noon
my partner stopped for gas on her way to work. The pump didn't spit out a printed receipt so she went into the store to request one.

the clerk said "Good thing you got gas this morning. The prices are going up by 6-cents at noon."

We live near Wilkes-Barre PA (NE corner of PA) - gas this morning was $2.25/gallon

on election day gas was $2.13/gal, and if other gas stations follow along - gas will be $2.31 at noon today

of North Georgia, just northwest of Atlanta. I guess it will be higher tonight.

5. Prices here in Mid Missouri have hung in at 2.09 since before the election
I thought surely that Bushco and his oily buddies would be punishing us now for daring to elect McCaskill to the Senate, but it hasn't budged, even for the Thanksgiving traveling season. I keep expecting it too anytime though.

6. Those Filthy Bastards. How Do They Continue to Get Away With This Shit?
Edited on Thu Nov-30-06 11:01 AM by ThomWV
As of this very moment there is not one drop more oil in the world or one less iota of demand for it than there was 1 year ago. A year ago, when we had more oil and less demand, oil was $75, today it s $63.

9. It's simple. We let them.
I'm not sure how much longer we'll all take it, but I have a feeling it will be for a long time.

8. A store can sell gasoline for whatever price they want, as long

as it's not below the state minimum mark up.
