I paid $3.38 for premium 93 last night. I hate buying gas knowing someone is in fat city with my money. Oil companies can go to hell.

Paid 3.09 today for 93 @ Chevron. I was so shocked by the price I had to double check my receipt just to make sure that I really pumped premium.

I used to work for an oil drilling company....now that was interesting!

Just a quick side note....there is nothing that ya'll can do about the price of gas....it's not worth getting mad over, just change the way you drive, or maybe not go out to eat fir dinner as often. When you check gague light comes on...just fill it up!!! WE've had to budget for gas at my home....costs us around $112/ week between a Pacifica and my daily driver Camaro just for the "privilidge" of going to work!

Remember, it's not George Bush's fault (Bush can not control the stock market, this is a capitalism, not communism), the Oil Companies fault (all they do it pump the oil, then sell it to the highest bidder, it the bid is up to $75 that's the way it is), the local gas stations fault (they buy it from the distributor that has to make a profit as well). It's the simple econimics law of supply and demand (and no, not the lack of supply of crude oil, lack of refining capabilies like ChocoTaco said). Take a look at the commodities market, right now crude oil is $75/ barrel.....that's a future COMMODITIES market, just like corn, cattle, hogs, soybeans. It's what the investors THINK that the stuff will be worth say...in the next two months. It's the investors that have risen the price of our "refined" gasoline.

about 3.40-3.50 for Chevron 91 octane and I drive 55 miles each way to work so that comes out to 100-120 bucks a week which could be spent on mods
