I was watching TV earlier today and when the news came on I saw a report that I found kind of funny. I really don’t think I’ve ever heard a news anchor tell drivers to push their cars home rather than buy gas ever before – have you?
The reason why she was suggesting that drivers not buy gas today is because gas prices sky rocketed the other day and now prices are set to drop by 6 or 7 cents a litre once again on Friday (tomorrow). Here’s a photo ..
It’s all because of Hurricane Issac .. remember him .. he passed through parts of the US almost two weeks ago? Yeah, even though there was no damage to major oil production areas prices are going up and down as a result. I don’t understand .. especially when we have our own oil and gas here in Canada. Strange.
Have your gas prices been fluctuating too?
Am I the only one who feels that there is a large amount of price gouging going on. The taking advantage of the fact that we have no say on how much we use, we dont make the cars, and thoiugh we try to avoid the long drives, and traffic, we are still expected to bare the cost, and responsibility. We all know that expecting the government to actually do, or even say anything that would upset the fuel providers is ridiculous, their revenue is only benifited by the fact the price goes up. The government do something to reduce, or control their own income, fat chance. This whole thing is nothing but profiteering, using any and all outlandish excuses to raise prices.
