Part of Big Oil's EXCUSE for this new gouging is that we now have the infamous "Summer Driving Season." It hasn't been around for several years because gas prices have actually dropped throughout the summer.
The reason for no "Summer Driving Season" (where people hit the road for vacations) is that we had other special gouging seasons. Let me recap these other "Driving Seasons" as an explanation for the dazed and confused:
First, there was the Pre-Pre-Pre Summer driving Season where Big Oil, started thinking about the summer and reflected that it was time to get a head start on the gouge and raise prices in late January.
Then, there was the Pre-Pre Summer Driving Season around early March when they remembered they hadn't found reasons to raise gas for several weeks.
Next was the Pre-Summer Driving Season in early April when they remembered it had been several weeks since the Pre-Pre Summer Drive Gouge.
Then, we have the annual closing of plants for the Fix-It Gouge.
Then, around Chicago, we have the switch to the summer gas formulas for cleaner air (the Clean Gouge)which is always good for another 30-40 cents in profit.
