Default Price gouging...

Quote:
Price gouging is VERY real, and the oil companies recorded record profits all last year with their new found power over gas prices.
Back when gas shot up to $1.70+ for regular unleaded, and everyone was freaking out, a few places marked up their gas to like $2.40+ and man was that a mistake. They were the first people on the news, they had big stories interviewing them, and since it's against the law, they quickly went down. People need gas, that is what is comes down too. Gas prices have been jumping 10 cents here, and 10 cents here and another 10 cents there, it's pretty ridiculous. When filling up my car used to cost $14-15, now it cost $19+, and I have to fill up pretty often, it kinda sucks. I'm just glad it's not hovering around $2.00 though, it could be worse you know. Right now it's like $1.24 for 87, and $1.38 for 93, and I'm bitching about that. When it goes from $.89 to $1.29 within a few months, it's kinda hard to adjust too, because your like " Oh man that is outrageous". Heck people in Cali would love it if it was that cheap. Now I just need to get the price of 110 down from $4.50-$5 a gallon, and I'll be a happy camper! A guy I was talking to asked me how much my 110 was, he was like "Yeah that stuff is expensive, how much is it now, like $1.70? I was like...... BAHAHAHAAHAHAHA I WISH! $4.50 MAN! AND he was like .
