#4 | | Anonymous | Re: Gas up again! 3.89 here in wv, expect it go up more after the hurricane hits. Good thing the price of oil per barrel is the lowest it has been in about 6 months. I know that price is about 6 weeks out but in 6 weeks do you expect gas to be around 3.10 or so? Nope. | |

Rep Power: 18729 | Re: Gas up again! With 'Ike' happening now, they're talking the possibility of gas doubling quickly.
Also, they showed some insane people in a waterside bar "drinking through the hurricane". I hope they wrote their names in indelible marker on their arms!! They're nuts !!

It's all a big scam. | Yes it is a BIG scam oil dropped yesterday to near $100 a barrel and yet wholesale gas was near $5.00 a gallon I heard thats all ridiculous the oil companies just keep jacking the price up knowing that we will pay it supply and demand if everyone stopped driving so much they price would fall so quickly, I think we should all organize for a no drive day! |
