This is getting out of hand. How much higher will the price go? I remember paying $1.40 a gallon when I first started driving. Now if you find a better price than $2.79 in this area, you’re getting a “good deal.” At this point, my bicycle is looking more and more like a “good deal.” With giants like Exxon/Mobil awash in a sea of $10.36 BILLION in profits, it’s just not fair.

They’re having trouble trying to find a place to put it all, and I’m having trouble trying to keep it in my wallet, every time I go to the pump. How greedy do you have to be? How much is enough? This is a slap in the face to the American people. I know the government can do more than it has. Maybe we’ll see some relief when they’re finished securing our new Middle East oil fields.
