Gas prices continue upward trend

The national average price for gasoline rose for the 10th straight week, according to USA Today. Based on figures from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the paper said drivers paid an average of $2.802 a gallon for regular gasoline in the week ended April 9, up from $2.707 the previous week.
AAA, which also tracks gasoline prices, said the national average was $2.792 a gallon Tuesday. Retail gasoline prices are up 11.9 cents from a year ago at this time. Prices have risen 54.2 cents over the past 10 weeks, following a previous five-week decline.

convient stores has an avg of 30 to 40% markup on all products sold inside of their stores.

If everyone would only purchase a 2 to 3 day supply of gasoline, the inventories would build within their tanks.

If the American consumers woud boycott the inside
sales, I assure everyone that the association of convienence stores, could & would bring the pressure to the oil companies.

How can you ask someone to be civil when our way of life is being attacked by the very people elected to protect it. I don't believe that we blame the world economy or those in Iraq and Iran, when our politicians over here are still getting rich. Bush and his constituents are not feeling this crunce like the rest of us. They are experiencing the biggest gains ever in the history or their professions. Executives in the oil industry are making a killing while killing our way of life, and Bush sits back an rakes in funds for his possible replacement candidate. You can hold to the false promise of prosperity and moral value championed by his administration but I for one am tired of the BS.

Please be civil. Vicious comments, personal attacks and profanity won't be published.
