[Atrocities]

Up from 2.75 to 2.99 in one day do to the effect of the hurricane yesterday. WTF???? Why gouge us now when the effect of the hurricane HAS NOTHING to do with us? Or at least not for a few more days!

I am surprised that they did not send Gas prices to $5.00 following 9/11! Hell if they can use every weather event, natural act of God, and voodoo whim to raise the price of gas, why didn't they sock it too us on 9/11?

This is BULL****! They are doing the EXACT same thing that ENRON did a few years back by creating a deliberate short fall of gas to drive up the cost domestically. The price of a barrel of oil my be at an all time high, punishment for the war I guess, but high gas taxes, greed, and out right fraud are what have driven the price of Gas to $3.00 a gallon.

"If they can afford $2.00 a gallon then they can afford $3.00 a gallon."

And our government is saying that these high prices are having NO affect on any one..... WHAT UTOPIA FAIRY LAND DO THOSE DUMB***, STUPID **very bad words** LIVE IN?

These high gas prices are affecting food costs, up over 30% in the last 3 months, travel and tourism, recreational and out door actives, and oh yes we cannot forget the grand prize, peoples ability to drive.

Although I have not noticed a decrease in traffic, quite the opposite in fact. It seems more and more high-end cars are on the road these days and fewer and fewer lower class cars.

It seems only the rich can now afford to drive and the rest of us, those who are lower class, can only afford to drive when its absolutely necessary to do so.

So the rich win by default. They are the only ones who can afford to buy gas to drive so they enjoy the benefit of having fewer cars on the road. Hell its like a rich mans driving club. Only the rich are aloud to drive now.... They own the road, and all you have to do is drive to the store to see how they react. They do own the road. And when they take the cel phone away from their head, they might, if they are being generous, turn on a signal indicating that they are about to cut you the [censored] off. Hell rules of the road and even the law does not apply to these rich SOB's so why should safety and courtesy matter?

"How dare you drive on my road you peasant!"

The sad thing is, no one seems to really care about the prices except for crack pots and doom sayers. And that is sad.
