I am wondering why no one ...EXCEPT me... is screamin about gas prices. The wholesale gas price is down 40 cents in the last 3 weeks and gas has hardly moved at the pump. there is a 70-80 cent spread from Retail to Wholesale...it is normally about 35-40 cents.
At the convenience stores in this area, it's $2.59/gal.
They always jack it up as school lets out. Actually it's down here about 10 cents over the last couple or 3 weeks. I paid 2.53 a gallon at lunch
I understand the Memorial day effect....but the wholesale price goes up too...but it is going down. It is below $2 a gallon...I watch it every day.:mad:
Its Bush's fault!! Lol
I forgot to mention that.Quote:

NOW, why did you have to go and do that, I was in a pretty good mood...thanks!
They ought to arrest or fine all the retailers in MS. for price gouging because the wholesale price is down now. Its not right crude oil is down below 80 bucks a barrel now for the first time in years.
$80 bucks a gallon?? dern, g3, how much are you paying to fill up your car?:eek: you can drive here to greenwood, it's only 2.79 a gallon:)Quote:

Crude has been below $80 a barrel for about 1.5 years now...it is below 70...now......the Wholesale price of oil is $1.95 a gallon gas should be about $2.40 or less at the pump...it has had plenty of time to fall to about 2.45...but hasn't, lowest I have seen in this town is 2.62..highest is $2.75:mad::mad::mad:
$2.68 in Shelby and Clarksdale.
i knew that, g3, lol. just messin with ya..:)Quote:

Our Kroger's stores usually have the best gas prices around here plus with the Kroger card you can save 10 cents a gallon! It helps anyway.

Saw the other day that the oil company that is responsible for the leak in the gulf has already spent over 50 million to fix the problem. The report says that this equals 7 days of profits from the previous year!
Ain't nare one of us gonna walk or pull our boats with mules, so we ought to be thankful it ain't the price of a gallon of milk or a liter of cheap vodka.

Dang Duck.....what do you have? a yacht? :D
the prices GO up in a day when the price of oil goes up but if the price of oil goes down the price at the pump trickles and I mean trickles down OR Big Oil just cuts back on production...Anyone who thinks price fixing ISN'T INVOLVED then you must agree that it costs TO THE CENT PER GALLON the same price to bring gas to market for Shell, BP, Exxon and Texaco...All their prices are the same YET they have different refineries? It really is sad the way they stick it to us everyday...
yall think it bad now wait and see what to come with this oil spill down here you will say it just bp but just watch
Big Oil can't have it both ways...Either we have large deposits of oil under the gulf or we don't.Quote:
right now it not under the gulf it through the hold water column the gov and bp is playing it down all because of the dollar billQuote:
