Read This - Go Get Gas!

It's the stock markets that run the price of fuel, not the poor little gas station owner. He probably doesn't see any more profit margin at $3.00 per gallon than he did at $1.00 per. It's not bad enough that you poor folks down South just got hit with one of the worst natural disasters in recent history, but now the stock market investors and major oil companies will use that disaster to suck more money (Profits) from all of us. The price of gas jumped about $0.12 cents per LITRE overnight here North of the 49th parallel also. Oh, and no I don't have ANY ties to any gas stations or oil companies!!
O.K. - I'll pass the soap box along to someone else now. I just had to get rid of the bad taste in my mouth before my second cup of coffee. :)
