I definately think it is ridiculous that they are jacking the prices up the way they are. I drove by one gas station it was $2.79, and another was $2.99 (about 1.5 miles away). I think they are taking advantage of a bad situation.



Taking advantage? Why would I think they're taking advantabe of the situation?

I live in Alaska. The gasoline I use in my truck was taken from the ground here in Alaska and refined here in Alaska. Gas went up 12 cents/gallon yesterday.

Some of the price hike is justified.... a lot of it, if not all of the price hike in Alaska, is gouging.

maybe so. but also see my previous post.

Prices are set in the commodity futures markets. it doesn't make much difference where you live.

If one side of the continent has a bumper crop in grain, and the other side has a drought, the price of a bushel of grain is somewhere in between.

Hi folks

To try and keep the thread on topic, about whining about the price of gas meanwhile people are dieing by the minute for lack of water, medical attention etc, I'll address the username slug.

I'm not a skydivia,B| skychickie,B| skymonkeyB| or reborn againB| or whatever.

My DZ name Was R.I.P. but DZ.com wouldn't let me use R.I.P. as a user name due to the periods.....

Slug is a user name R.I.P. is the name I go by see the sign off below:|

Don't mean squat to me if you want tohijack this thread to user names rather than the your current priorities.

Price of gas vs Human lives and suffering:o
