I think gas has been too cheap for a long time now. It's about time they started raising the price of fuel. Honestly it will be great to pay $7.21 per gallon of fuel later this summer :gap:

When the futures cost of a barrel of oil went up the prices of fuel started going up over night, guess what, the futures price of a barrel of oil went down today and the price at the pump went up again. Does anyone see anything wrong with this?

Everyone but the oil companies see something wrong with it.  What's sad is, you now see that stupid "boycott gas stations for a day" crap popping up, and the brainless masses jump right on the bandwagon, ignoring the fact that they'll just buy gas the day before or the day after.

You're fooling yourself if you didn't think they were millionairs before gas prices shot up so high.  The only people being made a millionaire off these prices are those smart enough to invest mass amounts of money into oil companies when prices started rising.

You know the government takes in more in fuel taxes than any one company makes above their overhead. And then that money gets used for something other than intended. Not that Oil Companies aren't greedy or out ot make money, but the people that we vote for and work for us are responsible for this as well.

Nope Nate not fooling myself, I understand the system all too well, cheat the little people, make a fortune off of our backs then blame us for the problems of the world. Happens from the White House down, the rich get richer and the rest get had.

No such thing with private industry. There should be oversight, but that hasn't been working too well.

Our gov't is supposed to have checks & balances, but that hasn't been working too well either.

Earthquake and tsunami in Japan, warnings across the Pacific, that should be good for a $2.00 increase at the pumps here.

I put $50 in my truck for reg and it didn't even fill it. Poop!

Put $45 in the 2wd the other day, but that should last me about 2 weeks if I keep my trips to a minimum.  All that means, though, is it'll probably cost me $55 for the same amount next time  :shake:

I remember when that jet over ran the runway in Burbank and ended up in the station. Those prices make me want to cry though.

The cost of a barrel dropped today due to the earthquake, wonder if we'll see that at the pump.
