Yanno, there's few things in life that get me THIS upset.
I had to stop for fuel tonight - driving an 8cyl truck, it's done at least weekly - sometimes 2x/week.
Yesterday, Mobil on Altamont Ave was 3.579 ... today, it's 3.799 - that's a $.22cent increase in ONE day. On SPECULATION. There's no evidence that their rigs were even damaged in the gulf - the damn thing just came on shore less than 24 hours ago.
(As of 9:30pm) Everyone else in R'dam and the city is $3.57-$3.62 ... Mobil is the ONLY one that raised their prices so fast - without merit.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Actually, I think that Cumberland Farms (Gulf) is up to somewhere around $3.71. Makes more sense, since this is where they get their gas from. I was lucky enough to fill up at the Stewarts on hamburg St. on Friday at $3.57 before it skyrocketed. Between Friday night and Saturday morning, the Getty at 5 Corners jumped from $3.57 to $3.69. |

This is simply price gouging - nothing more, nothing less. They're inflating the price based on SPECULATION - not actual costs.
That's illegal. |

The federal government was 'suppose' to be looking into this. They said they wouldn't allow price gouging. Too late! |

Want to see what this is really doing to gas prices across the country? Even though a barrel of oil is almost under $90 a barrel at the close of business today, look at the map at this link, specifically narrowing in on the midwest / anything east of the Mississippi River. http://www.albanygasprices.com/Price_By_County.aspx?state=NY&c=usa |
