It just seems to me that I went to sleep last night only to find gas costing $0.25 more than a day ago. WTF?

Just a 2 weeks ago, it was dropping, and now just in a matter of a few days, it raises faster than it goes down. Regular here is around $4.35/gal. Premium is almost $4.60.

I called the Obongo hotline and voiced your complaint! He still thinks you need to check your tire pressure and maybe consider a tune-up! He'd be right at home on CF with the n00bs..

He added "Real patriots don't complain about high fuel prices or taxes. Something you people need to understand."

Memorial Day Weekend is two weeks away. They are hiking the price up to take advantage of travels!!!

What are we talking about? The gas NEVER went down to the prices we had three months ago. It went down 10 cents. I got a Chevron 1/2 mile from home and its on the way to everything I do so I see the prices daily.

This is just part of all this BS we live in. Our comments, our vote or complaining to anybody in the senate will change the destiny our government has created for this nation.

The price of oil dropped $9 in one day so they are getting one last gouge in is the only explanation I can figure. At $96 a bbl it should be about $3.35...not $4.50 for premium.

:iagree: Got regular this a.m. at $3.27....:dance:

It's varying from that up to $3.59 for ethanol free gas, when I can find it. I never thought I'd be happy about paying a bit over $3 a gallon, but as much gas as I buy and given the recent prices, I'm nearly overjoyed for it to be this cheap.

Filled up with diesel for $3.89 over the weekend. Pretty much where it has been for the last few months.

To be honest, the Keystone pipeline would not lower your oil prices at all. Canada is a participant in the global oil market in which buyers and sellers trade volumes, mostly on the basis of short-term contracts. It is this interaction that sets the world price of oil.
Now what keystone will inevitably do would be bring a lot of high paying jobs as well as a "safe" source of oil from a country that isn't trying to kill y'all...............................yet:D

A bunch of liberal politicians are driving around for a bit when they see a girl standing on a bridge, ready to jump. They stop, and their leader, a small man with a huge ego, steps out of his limo, walks up to her and asks what she's doing.

"I'm committing suicide", she answers.

Because he doesn't want to be an insensitive bastard, and doesn't want to miss the opportunity, the man says: "Well then, what about a last kiss before you jump?"

She walks up to him and gives him a long lasting, passionate kiss.

When they are done the pol says: "Wow! That's the best kiss I've ever had! A real gift! I think you could even become famous with that! Why the hell are you jumping off that bridge?!"

Back on topic: refinery capacity issues is why gasoline is going up, but diesel is dropping.

The increases stem from record low gasoline inventories and continued
refinery issues that "may resolve itself in the next week,''

Only a few refineries make the CA blend so if a couple of those go offline at the same time...
