Yesterday, I bought gas for 3.36 per gallon. This morning, gas was 3.31 per gallon.
Since Michigan suffered the highest gas prices in the nation a few weeks ago, I thought that maybe the oil companies were ashamed of themselves. But no. The little piggies decided that they needed a 28 cent per gallon holiday bonus instead. So gas jumped to 3.59 per gallon this afternoon. Fortunately, I filled up both of my cars yesterday in anticipation of the the gas hike.
It must be hard being an oil company. After all, if you gouge too much, the Attorney General will be after you! But, if you don’t gouge enough, you are losing money!
The oil companies must not sleep at night. And it is not because they are feeling guilty for raping the public. It is because they are partying with your money.
