remedy; top off when your Corvette gets to 3/4 full. Don't care if it's every day or every other day.
I heard across the country...people should not buy gas on Sunday. This will put a dent in the pockets of the oil companies.
We have to think things over; adjust and adapt.

A local gas station told me they have over $100 in drive offs a day. That was before the "jump" in price..

They just pass the losses on to us.

$3.89 for 93 at that station!

Ah, so you saw "The Day After Tomorrow" too...good stuff. I believed it up to the point where the wolves were attacking the guys on the Russian ship that had sailed halfway through Manhattan and then got stuck in the ice...don't the producers know that wolves on a ship is bad luck?

Same here. The Silverado takes 26 gallons; usually end up putting in 22-23 gallons. At $2.999 per that would be $65.98.
The vette will need a fill up soon also maybe 15 gal at $3.299 that would be$49.50

So they have to wait until the next day and stand in line and hope there is going to be gas when they finally reach there and do this for several days until they save up enough gas to make a run for it out of Mississippi. I think it is wrong about the way the gas prices was going before the tragic hurricane and I believe we are still being taken advantage of but right now there are more important things like people are literally dying all over these states everyday because of lack of supplies and medicine. The sick, babies and elderly are being hit really hard with death right now and people are still trapped and starving to death right on the camera on tv in my state. I am watching it in my living room in America and not in some third world country that I can't pronounced the name of. So please, don't complain right now about gas prices, there is pure HELL on EARTH going on right now down here. The people here need assistance please contact your Congress persons and ask them to please send HELP!

It isnt whining just cause you dont want to get raped for gas.

Its called vertical integration, ever wondered what happened to the independents? All the mergers of the oil companies have been bad for America and good for them. Big Oil is second only to big government in driving up the cost of driving. The oil companies are controlling the supply which in turn drives up the cost.

I hope Americans think twice before electing another oilman..and his helper from Halliburton.
