Sorry, Tom. Still working out the kinks.

you can include these little bastards as well using that method.

 

Prediction: Gas will drift upwards through the $4.00's over the next five weeks, nearing $5.00 in late October. Just about the last week of October, it will drop about 40-50 cents. Amazing.

 

I live just up the road from the war zone and gas is still $3.65 to $3.69. Go figure.

 

i bet your gas doesn't come out of houston.

 

Prices went up 30 f-in cents overnight here... bastards.

 

You're probably right, but I don't see how some of it doesn't. Guess we'll find out in the next few days when they get in there and find out the refineries all got fucked up.

 

30? You got lucky

 

Gas up 33 cents in two days. Oil companies have to be giddy this time of the year. They celebrate hurricanes so they can make more money. Fuckers.

 

I think the level we saw over the weekend was the owners. Gas is bought already, so why are you raising prices 30-40-50- and in some case around here $1.20 a gallon?
"Well the wholesale price went up..." OK, fine. Then raise the price when you have to pay for that.

 

Loot, loot, loot.

Rape, rape, rape.

The righties' boys.

Fumigation time. Lots of vermin, about.

 

Like I said, it would be one thing if prices spiked now, while refineries and such are shut down, but then dropped by as much as they spiked when the refineries are working again in a week or two. But that won't happen. These price won't fall back to the pre-hurricane level rapings until November probably. Which to me says it's price gouging.

If the oil cos are going to say 'The refineries aren't working, so with limited supply we're raising prices to curb demand' then fine, but once the supply is back up your prices should fall back to what they were and you know that'll take months.
