I haven't looked at the street pump in about 2 weeks. Then it was 3.25 and my brother gagged at that price then.

There is no crude supply problem that I see, it is just that we need more refinerys and 10% of them were just shut down in the wake of that storm. OK that happend yesterday. Why the price hike today? I think they are jumping the gun a little.


Also, I think folks in the fuel business will use anything as an excuse for a price hike. Do you see lines at the pump? Do you see any stations that don't have fuel? This is a fabricated hike. Yes Europe has high fuel costs but most of that is taxes...in our case it is more like greed. I can tell you the gas that was in the station yesterday is the SAME as the gas that is in there today...but it suddenly cost more.
