What's up at the convenience stores? What's with the price hike in gas from one day to the next? Why they porking us so hard? They raise the price whenever they hear the price of oil has gone up. There is a fellow in my town who owns several stations (the picture isn't one of them). He says he is only making about three cents a gallon. He raises the price as he gets a shipment of gas and the price reflects that shipment. Of course that is a lie. He must be getting a shipment every other day or so. Truth is, when the news reports that the price per barrell of oil has gone up, the local stations here raise their price that night, the next day or the next. Is that reflective of a shipment? No, that is trying to make more money off what you have in the ground, right now. This guy has spiked his gas as much as ten cents on the news of oil cost from one day to the next, and a few days later lowers it two or three cents. Are we being boned at the pumps? Hell yes, what do you think? Can the politicians help fix this mess? Would you want to if you had stock in a big oil company? I wouldn't be quick to fix it. Price goes up, mo money, mo money for me. It's a big con game and we can't do anything about it.
