OK, gas here in OH just reached $3.50/gal. I am more convinced than ever that oil companies are trying to see what our threshold of pain is. I don't buy the crap about "oil refinery maintenence" being the cause of it. They know we will pay whatever it takes to keep driving our kids to soccer practice, and ourselves to work every day. It's sick. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> What will have to happen before Americans say enough is enough? I guess the oil companies are prepared to find out. What a country.

$3.89 for 92 octane here, probobly hit $4+ by Memorial day weekend.
Big oil + big government = working class takes it in the <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" />.

Bush's largest campain contributor was Chevron. Chevron just reported the highest quarterly profit of any corporation in US history. Coincidence?

I watched the truck one day. It went first to the Shell and then a few blocks away to the Exxon and then to walMart to finish off.. The truck had no markings as to where it came from.
