Gas prices may actually DROP due to the hurricane!

Went to a certain grocer that sells gas here in Frankfort on Thursday of last week. When I walked in to get some groceries the sign by the front door said $3.36. I got my few items and went to fill up right out front where the sign on top of the awning said $3.39, same price because the sign by the front door reflects discount with a card. I get to the pump and it read $3.69. I questioned the employee in the money booth and ge said he had not had time to change signs. Long story short, I ended up having to get the store manager involved and got my 20 gallon fill up for $3.36 not counting my additional .30 off a gallon reward for a nice total of $3.06 a gallon. False advertisement is false advertisement. Before I left they had changed the big sign and a lady was working on changing the sign by the store.

Fair warning, buy gas now. I'm going to fill the boat Saturday, so demand is going up. You know how the oil companies are. they see one 9 gallon spike and .....whammmmo....increased demand....higher prices.

Today is September 2nd. About seven or eight days ago I filled up both of my trucks for $3.35 per gallon. I went down to Cumberland for a four day stay and I wasn't so lucky, by the time the wife and I got there at the BP on 127 (across from Bill's Boat Barn) the price had already sky rocketed to $3.69 per gallon...Oh well, if you want to boat you have to have gas, so in goes $100.00 dollars into the Sea Ray. We don't run the lake that much so that was plenty.

Long story short....here we are, seven to eight days later and I'm STILL waiting for the prices to drop.

I'll take that a step further...I hate the gubment for acting like they would or could do something about it when in fact they love and depend on the taxes they receive from each gallon of gas sold but they still blame others.
I blame gubment and no real investment in alternative fuels or new refineries.

I'll third that.. I HATE BIG OIL! And the price drop obviously never happened. And I too am sick of all the posturing from politicians, the so-called investigations into price gouging, that in fact never end up accomplishing anything. Well maybe one thing - to an astute person, it's one more piece of evidence showing just how full of crap ALL politicians are.
