Plus you're arguing about less than $.75. Fuck, I'm just so sick of everybody bitching about gas prices.
/rant
Edit: that looked a lot more offensive that I intended it. I realize it is mpore expensive than it was, but regardless, it's less expensive than they could get away with.
I am sorry but we have a right to be pissed about gas prices. When every gas station in the city can raise the price at the exact time.... I have a problem. Damn when word gets out about any problem in the middle east and twenty minutes later I am bent over for another 5 cents a liter.... I have a problem. The government can play the sympathy card all they want but we all know the tax on a 1.50 a liter is sweet. It is all about supply and demand , think about it, pump just enough to keep the price high. I cannot wait for the day a car is developed (trust me this can be done now) that uses little/no gas and all the oil cock@%ckers will be giving the oil away.
end of rant........ looks more offensive than I intended
