Gas ...

... was up about 20 cents per gallon in my neck of the woods two days after the election. This happening anywhere else?

 

Went up the day before the elections here.

 

It's creeping up slowly. Up an average of about 5 cents.

But I'm not surprised.

Now that the Dems will have control of both houses of Congress, Big Oil will tread verrrrrryyyyyy carrreeeefullllyyyy on hiking prices. Next time they get hauled in before a committee to testify, they WILL be sworn.

 

Up about 11 cents here.

 

Up a dime the day after. I laughed as I told my wife that morning, "Betcha gas went up this morning."

 

It actually was down at some of the big-name stations here, and up at the cheaper no-name places I usually go. Haven't checked today, tho.

 

It went down here, by about 6 cents.

 

Dropped two cents overnight here.

 

It's up in Blue states, down in Red states.

The oil industry protects its friends.

 

"Sir, Chairman Dingell's office is on the line..."
Heh-heh-heh.

 

Gas up about .15 here prior to the elections.

 

Ate some baked beans last night. Things not going well.
