Pfft!
"Huge gas-price spike not expected" by John Porretto, Associated Press | May 22, 2009
HOUSTON - As tens of millions tank up and hit the road for Memorial Day weekend, gas prices are rising quickly enough to revive painful memories of the $4-a-gallon summer of 2008.
Rest easy: The economic slack created by the recession all but guarantees prices won't spike the way they did last year, analysts say.
Yeah, we know it's a manipulated market:
Oil Companies Benefit From Lower Prices
When the Law of Supply and Demand Does Not Apply
Of course, a WAR with IRAN or some such nonsense means ALL BETS OFF!!!!
US prices for a gallon of unleaded averaged $2.36 yesterday. That's much cheaper than $3.80 a gallon last year, but prices are still up about 30 cents a gallon this month, enough to make drivers flinch....
You know, I mean, do I have to comment?
Vacations make a lot more sense for many families than they did last year: Airfares, hotels, and tourist attractions are cheaper.
Yeah, right. I think I have a vacation post somewhere else on this page today.
Check it out.
Gas is no exception. For much of this year, there has been a glut of gasoline in storage around the country, keeping prices low, and demand has been light because of the poor economy. But gasoline has jumped in May. Refineries are taking in less oil, and those cuts are being felt at the pump. At the same time, prices are starting to rise for seasonal reasons. Americans drive more in summer, and federal and state laws require more expensive gasoline blends this time of year. The trading markets are at work, too....
Oh, I don't want to hear their lying excuses for sticking that pump you-know-whe... OW!!!
You know the drill, readers....
1. Pull up to pump
2. Get out of car
3. Drop pants
4. Insert gas pump into ass
And check out this idiot:
"Patrick also said he would keep pushing for a 19-cent-per-gallon increase in the state's gas tax"
You really don't care about a second term, do you?
Unless you rigged the voting machines, 'eh, gov?
