Did We Ever Get Gas Gouged Yesterday!!! Jumped 46 Cents!!!!!

We really are going to have to find a way to deal with these GRBs who are willing to make everyone suffer so they can put more money in their pockets.

Gas had finally "Gotten" down to $3.54 (well, $3.53.9) in Fox Lake, Illinois. Still high, but better than the $4 it was three weeks ago. Yesterday, I notcied the Phillips 66 on US-12 had jumped their price to $3.70. Since they are usually the first to raise prices, I immediately went to Shell on Grand Avenue and filled up at $3.56.

Yesterday, we were more than a bit shocked to see BP and 66 both at $4 (well, $3.99.9). Count it, that's a 46 cent jump in one day. The new Thornton's on Grand and 12 was still, however, at $3.54. I see that gas prices are expected to spike 15 cents around here, well two of our stations have done "much" better than that.

Part of the problem is that there are problems in Egypt (which doesn't produce oil). Go figure. They'll use any old excuse to jack the prices. Government needs to do something, but doesn't. In Big Oil hip pocket.
