Paid $2.91 at a normally competitive filling station for unleaded 92

Looks like a repeat of the 2005 fuel pricing may be in store. Those
*******s. But I guess you can't blame them, since most of the increase
last year went straight to the Record Profit Bottom Line of the big oil
companies and their stock prices have now been adjusted to take those
profits into account. Failure to reproduce the same type of earnings
this year would have a negative impact on future stock values, and we
certainly couldn't have that, could we?


What are you burning that high octane stuff in? I know Acura's require it,
but most cars don't.

Yesterday, in Holland, the price was almost $6 per gallon. Guess we
shouldn't bitch too much.


Why John? Why the hell should we feel good about our gas prices running up
just because the price of gas is higher somewhere else. I've never
understood that argument.


"Feel good?" Did I say that somewhere?

Have you never felt a little self-satisfied when you got a little better
deal than the next guy?

There are people here who wish to have flame wars. I'm not one of them.
