This Gallon Brought to You By the Good Folks at Big Oil

I was looking at the price of gasoline so far this year. Like I said, I've been keeping track of prices mostly in Fox lake, Illinois, since it became apparent that the GRBs were out to make some dough at our expense.

Here are prices at Fox Lake stations since January 1st.


Jan. 1-- $2.93 (remember the Good Old Days)
Feb. 2- $2.90-- what happened here-- down 3 cents. Big Oil boys pitch hissy-fits
March 17-- $3.30-- UP 40 cents (Got back from trip) Big Oil boys feeling better
April 12-- 3.44-- Up measly 14 cents (Got back from another trip) Big Oil says they'll do better
May 3-- $3.70-- Up 26 cents-- Big Oil boys smiling again
May 7-- $3.80-- Up 10 cents-- Big Oil says that's not enough for a week
May 14-- $3.92-- Up 12 cents-- When BO Faces are Smiling
May 23-- $4.06-- Up 14 cents-- BO ecstatic-- broke $4 mark. Big smiles all around
June 2-- $4.08-- Only 2 cents?-- BO not happy at all.
June 3-- $4.08 and one at $4.10-- Hey Boys, Summer Driving Season is Here. Time to start dropping the prices.

That's an increase of $1.18 since the beginning of February.

And, remember, there is an election coming up!! That wouldn't be too good for your party to keep the prices this high.
