It's Them, Not Me: As the Gas Gouge Turns

I still consider any gas above $2.50 as being way too expensive and unnecessary.  Of course, I doubt that we'll ever see it below $3 again.  The powers that be shall see to that.  The GRBs at BO (Big Oil) must have some sort of control on our government.

Gas was slowly dropping after the GRBs raised it to $4 in the winter during their annual pre-pre-pre Summer-Driving Gouge.  It had gotten to around $3.64 around here and $3.54 in Springfield.  However, in Springfield, April 23rd, gas rose to $3.80 overnight.  Gas all the way back was 26 cents higher.

In Fox Lake, Illinois, it was $3.90, then went to $4, then back to $3.94 and yesterday $4.10.

And, we no longer get reasons for this and I haven't seen a quarterly profit for BO in years.  I know they don't want us to see their profits, even after they find ways to "bury" much of it.

Hey, the government needs money.  How about taxing indecent profits like BO is getting 90-95%?  Maybe that would put a stop to all this money-grubbing.
