Connersville, Indiana. Indiana! This is not NYC or LA! They speculated it might hit $3 today. Is it going to $4 today??? I have heard it is not as bad as the 70's, if adjusted for inflation. What would 70's prices be adjusted for inflation? I'm guessing you know what I'm talking about. |
Simply ridiculous. |

I know it suck. I just started a thread about it here. www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=5&t=384686 |
$80-$90/pbl is the 1979 rate, we are getting close. |

Did you just post your premeditation on an internet website? That should weigh heavily in you favor if you DO have to defend yourself.

That's not premeditation. |

Filled up yesterday morning for $2.59. 5 hours later the wife drove by and it was $2.99. This morning I drove by and it was $3.19. $.60 increase in less than 24 hours. Saw one place it had 87 for $3.39 and people were lining up for it. Noon news had a story about how owners are now starting to see alot more drive offs than they had in the past. |

A friend of mine on his lunchbreak just drove past the BJ's here (Warehouse Club with the cheapest gas in town). Gas was at 2.69, and there were 40 cars waiting in line. They're going to be out of gas before 5:00 unless they have major re-supplies coming in. This is going to HURT. |

Or you could come to the Cars & Bikes Forum thread here: www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=134&t=379012 That thread has only been going for 19 days. |

My brother in law owns a gas station. Retail prices are usually set by the parent company (Shell, in this case). He only has a few cents (2 or 3) to play with. They do check the retail prices thru credit card transactions. In fact, it really hurts him as a business owner. Credit cards charge a percentage fee to the retailer per transaction. Gas prices skyrocket, he makes the same 3-5 cents per gallon, but his credit card fees go up dramatically, too. So, he loses profit. big time. I was working there on 9/11. I was the one who had to walk outside and announce that we had run out of gas. I felt kind of like Jimmy Stewart in Wonderful life, trying to give people a basic lesson in economics. It was hopeless, though. They were just mad. Remember, they guy working behind the counter just punches a time clock. Getting angry and yelling at him accomplishs nothing, except making you look bad. |
