Gas jumped 50 cents a gallon here in Central Ohio !!
Holy moly that was a shock but not unexpected. When I topped off the tank this morning here in Grove City I paid $2.90 a gallon. At lunch gas jumped to $3.40 a gallon !! It's pitiful to use Corporate greed and Christmas time in the same sentence ......

Christmas as we know it, is all about corporate greed.

It always shoots up when a travel day comes along. Shameful. But the love of money is the root of all evil, so we should expect them to jab consumers at this time of year.

Corporations exist for the purpose of maximizing profit and rewarding shareholders. Nothing else.

We, here in Vermont, haven't seen gas at $2.90 since Obama got into office. The price of gas is comming down here (finally). I paid $3.23 for "low test" (regular) today.

Filled up yesterday at $2.92/gal in Tulsa. This is the cheapest I have seen it for a long time, other than it was $2.75/gal about a month ago - but that was at an Indian Casino. I don't know if they get a tax break on gas...

This evening CBS (I don't have cable) news did a piece about The USA "Has all the gas we need". And about all the exporting of gas/ diesel the US is doing.
Despite this we get a "holiday" price increase . . .?????????
And why in h*** is diesel .75 cents a gallon more than gas . . . .????????

No that isn't the reason at all.
It is because of the EPA and the amount of sulfur. The gas companies now have to Refine diesel more to get rid of the sulfur, that that alone raises the costs up. All brought to you by the over reaching, power hungry epa. Now just wait for electricity to start to go up and up, all brought to you by the stupids epa, putting hug he demands on older coal fired units.

Gas in Vermont low? Yeesh. No way, and it has nothing to do with O. A lot of us natives have had to move out over the years because of prices in Vermont. Ohio? You couldn't PAY me to live there. No way, no how. If your govt. can't control the greed of a fifty cent increase per gallon (while we pay about $3 in AL) then MOVE.

Diesel has a higer demand and it also has an additional 24.4 cents, federal tax, per gallon. Some areas add additional taxes to diesel on top other the taxes it already has.

So true.
Don't you wish we had an alternative system, standing right beside the current one, whereby the govt. provided you with everything you need? I hear, in places where this has been tried and executed, that greed doesn't exist (cough cough, right..........) but alas, consumer goods, such as fuel, or automobiles, or parts for said automobiles, don't exist either. Most of these 'workers paradises' have fallen into the dung pit of history. In the current socialist paradises (step up from their Marxist cousins), the price of fuel is, what?, 7, 8, or 9 bucks a gallon?
Here's a recommendation to my liberal friends... please start your own green oil exploration company, drill produce and market your fuel, giving everyone along the way 'fair' prices, along with complete golden cradle to grave living wages and benefits, and have zero or minimal profits, which would of course NOT go back into more green exploration/production, but into environmental reclamation projects.
-----------------------
Btw... diesel dropped 20c a gallon hereabouts, and regular gas is still hovering around 3.10.
I'd recommend going online and seeing what the commodity prices in the area are...

Nope.
It's a GLOBAL market, and it's not just about what we use here.
There are only so many gallons of diesel in a barrel of crude oil, and nothing can change that

So why use them? How about "making an honest buck where you can.... even at Christmas time." Now what I would call greedy is those who are willing to work on Christmas... but feel the need to hold up the boss for double pay!

They are too busy investing their republican worker slaves money into their green ajenda to do such a thing, why should they invest their own, when they can have us for their cash cow? Woder what their going to do when the milk runs dry.
