What's really going to hurt is when gas prices start going down and the larger station companies can afford to keep up while mom and pop gas station
can't.

Depending on the product, you can get anywhere from $0.01 to $0.04 off each gallon.Giant Eagle gives 20 cents off per $50 spent.

That's a lot of coin to drop for $0.20 off each gallon. I could see it being useful for truckers... but Joe Average? Probably not.

I can only assume it's retarded beyond belief, which leads me to wonder: Do they even pay for their oil?

11.6 BILLION dollars net. That's not gross dollars. That's net, after expenses.
Shell was second with 11.4. Good god. :thud

There is no adequate explanation for this bullshit. Except corporate greed. Not capitalism... Corporate Greed.
Oh, and Dick Cheney.

*sigh*
The gas situation is still bad here. Not as bad as it was Saturday/Sunday, but there are still stations that do not have any gas at all. At least the prices have come back down, well, at certain stations. It's currently ranging from $3.39 (Pilot) to $3.99 (Shell) , to no gas (Weigles). Well, that's along I-40 between Gallaher and Midtown. I still can't believe we had (have?) the highest gas prices in the nation.

We couldn't believe that there was no gas at the Gallaher BP when we got home. Crazy stuff.
A congressional investigation was started Friday. Hopefully they will slam the price gougers.
