gas prices

I'm considering getting one of these since they're expecting to see $4.00+ pg this summer.

Sadly, I was actually happy I got gas for 2.93 @ the Sunoco on 896 in PA this morning. I was expecting to pay well over $3 today.

if that was the one in new london they are out of gas (when i came home) think kemblesville still has some though

ill have to stop in there tomorrow. i remember when it first opened a couple months ago the lines were insane for their "grand opening" price

I try not to get worked up about it but, there are resources in this coumtry that we don't harvest(shale in CO oil, in ANWAR, oil in the Gulf of Mexico) not to mention the refining problem(no new refineries in 30 years) while there is five of them in a 30 mile radius of wilington. Instead we rely on imports from places that don't care that I like to wheel.
sorry,Chuck
I just love watching the politicians hammer the oil companies while the oil companies make 8 cents per dollar and the state and federal government makes 60 cents per dollar.
There I went again,

didn't all the oil companies jsut post record profits for last year? I could be wrong, I read it on closed captioning at the gym?

what is price gouging exactly, anyway? inappropriately high pricing at a time when the public would otherwise fall for it?

Lets say the gas co's make 10% profit on every gallon they sell At $2 a gallon they are making 20 cents on every gallon they sell. If you move the price up to $3 a gallon they are making 30 cents on every gallon they sell. So of course they are making record profits. But still only making a 10% profit.

It might work, if everyone actually did it. But then again who does Wawa get it's gas from? I'm under the impression that there are really only like 3-4 major oil companies. So if you buy from wawa are you still supporting Exxon/Mobile?

Over all I think it's a great idea,.. if it'll work, I'm not sure.

If you don't buy from Mobil/Exxon, you'll have to buy from someone else who, in order to keep up with increased demand will have to buy more oil...

Probably from Mobil/Exxon.

I've seen that email and it just won't work.

If the whole country picked one day a month to stay home, gas prices would tumble and it would bring all of the oil producing countries to their knees.

I would go for it, but I doubt it would ever happen.

wawa gas comes from a distribuiter named BRT they like all gas carriers buy the gas from which ever refinery they deal with.. refineries may be named sunoco or exon but make gas for whoever wants it... so your shell gas may be refined by exon or your BP gas might be refined by sunoco... i dont just think one company is the main culpret... but all of them and the orginization
