The GRBs at Big Oil have been an active group of boys and girls this past week.
Yesterday, when leaving Springfield, Illinois, gas jumped from $3.47 to $3.70. We got gas at in Pontiac for the bargain rate of $3.60, after paying $3.45 the previous Friday at the same station.
Gas was mostly $3.70 to $3.80 around the suburbs of Chicago. In Jerseyville, Illinois, Sunday, we saw premium at $3.99.9!!! Can anybody say FOUR DOLLARS!!!
I noticed a lot of stations now JUST SHOW the regular prices of gas instead of plus and premium. Premium was $3.96 in the ones I did see posted. I guess they don't want to be the first to show that mark that Big Oil so badly wants, the magical $4 barrier.
The way I look at it, if you are planning on ripping people off, be proud and not shy about it. I'm going to get your money and there is NOTHING you can do about it, then give your best Snidely Whiplash chuckle.
