What's up with gas prices???

Angrybird 12 · 02-19-2013, 02:25 PM

Why since February 1st have gas prices gone up over 50 cents a gallon? Today it's $3.65. A week ago I paid $3.40. And two weeks ago I paid, $3.15..
Did an oil refinery blow up or something?

32 days? Wow I guess I didn't notice it for the first week and a half...
Of course during that time it snowed a lot so I didn't need gas for a few weeks.

I refuse to buy gas until it comes back down.

Enjoy your walks...

I was just sitting at the store, looking at a gas station sign and wondering why in the hell this isn't a big issue. It's criminal if you ask me and we are just letting it happen. What a pathetic scam!

Yesterday I reset the DIC and headed down the road... It made me smile when it showed 32mpg when I got back home. It's finally getting what I my 2010 used to get... I was worried for a while that I would never get it out of the 20's on the highway.

I get mine at Kroger for my Saturn. They give, 10 cents off with every 100 dollars in groceries or 10 cents off with each prescription, up to $1 a gallon.
I filled up my Saturn last week and got 80 cents off a gallon.

Gas prices are ridiculous, they keep making Billions and billions of dollars at our expense. I wish i could afford a Chevy volt and stop giving them my hard earned money.

Kroger is a big grocery chain on the east coast. You might not see them too often where you are at in VA though....

All the Giants around here closed up about 20 years ago....Kroger has been around as long as I can remember...that's about 55 years...
