[QUOTE="ledded, post: 2538539, member: 12744"] ...and as a result, I sent picture evidence from 3 of the gas stations near my home that I took throughout a 24 hour period to our lovely government. For all the good it will do. Funny thing is, one station went up *5* times in 2 days, starting with the day the hurricane hit, all the while decrying the horrible Big Oil Companies that forced them into it. Yet Costco? They had gas lines with over one hundred people in them because they have not raised their prices over their normal margin. Yup, everybody is over $3.00-$3.50, yet Costco has gas at $2.42 yesterday. I guess that is proof of the Costco/Big Oil conspiracy to rule the world through bulk buying and controlled margins. It's not like it matters anyway, over 30% of the gas stations in B'ham now have signs out front stating that they have "No Gas". Of course, I was comforted by the words of our fearless leader, when he so eloquently stated "Well, if you dont *need* gas, don't go out and buy any" as a salve to take the sting out of this new crisis. Well, that and he said something about how good Condi's new shoes look, I think. :) [/QUOTE]
