Just got back from a gas run to head up to the Cape.
Last night, the Hess station was $2.71 and I said, "naw, only went up 2 cents today, how much more could it go up by tomorrow?"
Today, it was $2.89 and I had to wait 20 minutes to pump. Reason for the lines was, the Mobil station across the street was $3.39/9

and the Shell down the road was $2.99. All the time I'm waiting to pump, I'm sweating my ass off because there's a Mystic tanker truck making a delivery and you just know the price is going up after that

I managed to get in under the wire
Now, here's the kicker. Of all of the oil companies, Hess should be the least affected by this because they refine a lot of their gas in NJ
John, I can't argue with anything you said. I feel the same way. I've given this guy the benefit of the doubt for 5 years now, and all I can conclude is, I voted for Senor Effup back in 2000. Not that either time, there was much of a choice. I think TDF hit it right on the head----anyone with a lick of sense or self-respect wouldn't want to pimp himself the way you have to in order to win the job.
It won't be Arnold vs anybody anytime soon, unless we happen to annex Austria in the interim
