Was $3.63 here, then jumped to $3.89 when oil jumped up by $1 a barrel, dropped to $3.84 today when oil fell by $4 barrel, anyone else see a problem with that?

Everyone *****es so much about gas but still do nothing about it... Go to Mexico and get some ideas... Bikes, mopeds, and small size diesel pickups

it will go back up, and what people dont realize is i gas starts out at 2$ a gallon, and goes up to 3 dollars ppl get really pissed, then if they take it up to 4$ they all suffer and get very pissed. then the oil company drops it down to 3$ and everyone is happy again forgetting that we are still getting *****.

i thought of that right when gas when up.

i remember i was with my dad once looking at gas prices and the gallon was 1'02.

i pay 4.60 a gallon. I wish i paid 4.00 or lower for a gallon.

these are the kind of ppl who will drive gas back up if it ever does go down. now that everyone has to pay 4$+ for a gallon they are driving less and buying more efficient cars wich is driving the prices down, now if they drop it down to 3$ everyone will be happy again like this guy and start driving more and not caring, then it will go right back up. its all one big plan that pushes people to their limits and then takes advantage of their stupidity.

no offence to you man.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

3 stations by my house were $3.75, the rest were all $4.10 or higher. I'm surprised those stations had ANY business. But those stations that were cheaper are all now between $3.85 and $4.05 now. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Makes you wonder what their cost REALLY is. I remember being at a presentation once at college where a gas station chain owner (Family express in indiana) said that they barely made any profit on gas. I was gonna call BS but didn't want to get in any trouble for bashing a large donator to the university. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

And this was back when oil was much cheaper per barrel and gas prices still crept into the mid $3 range. I love it when companies say they have to charge more because their price goes up (presenter mentioned this), but they charge more for the gas already in their holding tanks, so in the end they are charging more money for the gas they already have (I wanted to say this to him).

One distinct memory I have was back a few months ago. I went out to play golf, left the house around 8. Drove past a station and the price was $3.50. Drove past that station LITERALLY 2 hours later (rained and couldn't play) and it was $3.70! Price jumped up 20 cents in 2 hours, WTF is that.

Not that I care that much, I'll pay what I have to. I just cut back on other things like going out to dinner, playing golf, etc. Can't really blame the oil companies for wanting to make more money. That's what business is all about. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif It's not a charity.

Thats how the gas companies make billions in profits every quarter...simple math....
