Gas prices

[BornBad]

Filled my auto up before the crack of dawn this morning @ $2.62. Heard tell about an hour later they priced it up to $2.79.

[CuppedAndCommitted]

I heard this morning there are places on the Illinois side that went to $2.99 this morning.

[Plasticman]

It has gone to 2.79 a gal down here in Branson----It wont shock me at all to see 3.00 by Friday-----Holiday coming up and all!

[Rafe Hollister]

Yesterday AM, Webb City/Joplin was $2.49. Later in the morning, it was $2.69. This morning, the stations I passed were all showing $2.89. A 40 cent jump in a little over 24 hours.

[Outdoorsfool]

Weeelllllll JimDog, so is it just me that's seeing the black helicopters now? 30 cent price jump overnight with absolutely no change in cost to the fuel that's in the tanks.

The last time I filled up I payed 2.43, and I was pissed about that.

[Triton X2]

You know what really pisses me off is that during 9-11 they prosecuted people for price gouging and they didnt raise the price nearly as much as they have during the past couple of days. Some need to have their donkey charged with price gouging. I think they are with us.

Did you guys happen to watch either Fox or CNBC last night? On one of the shows, it showed a black lady cop with a cart going down through a Wal-Mart aisle. I don't know if she was looting or what, but it sure seemed as if that were the case.

[Rafe Hollister]

Yeah, when the camera came up to her, she pushed her shopping cart away and told the reporter she was "doing my job. Looking for looters," and she walked in the opposite direction as the camera from that point on. Wouldn't let her face be seen on film, even though they'd already busted her. It was pathetic.

They are us and I feel violated. Go to Kuwait and then tell me if their per capita ownership of Ferrari, BMW, Mercedes, RR, and other exotics can match any other country in the world. Supply and demand, the supply is there and the demand for it is phenomenal. Like a crack whores, we are dependant on imported oil and we will pay whatever price they want us to.

Just went to $2.99

[DuckDr.]

I filled up Tuesday for $2.37. Yesterday it jumped up to $2.49. Today it was $2.79 when I fill'd up a gain.....it cost me $11 for 4 gallon I think. By the time I had walk'd in and paid they had changed the sign to $2.99.

I did here that the EPA passed a deal today where gas producers DO NOT have to meet the EPA regs to drop the prices back down. But I don't know and I am pretty sure they don't have a clue either.

[Great White Hunter]

Governor Blunt just sent a memo to AG Nixon to investigate price gouging.

[DuckDr.]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.........................him and Bush are gonna have a biotch smack'n contest.

[Rafe Hollister]

You know how I posted up above there a little bit ago that Joplin hit $2.89 this morning? Well, we're sitting on $2.99 as of 2:30PM. I did manage to top off my tank in Webb City for $2.79 just before coming home.
