    Default Gas Goughing

    The Wilco Hess And Sheetz Stations Appear To Be Only Ones Not Ripping Us Off Right Now. Even When Prices Are Stable And ''normal'' They Try To Keep Their Prices Down. Stop Buying Any Exxon Conoco Shell Or Citgo When Possible. We Can Fight Back A Little Bit By Not Supporting The Stations That Raised Their Prices So High. Here In Greensboro Both The Sheetz Are Good Buys And Hess Is Also. Check With ''gas Buddy.com'' Before You Buy Gas. No One Seems To Remember That Gas Was 1.80 A Gal The Week Of Katrina And Its Never Went Back Even After All The Repairs To Oil Refineries Were Completed. Give Your Votes To The Drilling Efforts. ''drill Here, Drill Now'' Cause Boats Aint Gonna Run On Solar Or 50 Batteries Sittin In The Floor.

    I agree with you !
    Make a stand and ALL STAND FOR THE SAME PURCHASE- fight for what is right and fair!
    On 85/40 Those Wilco Hess And Sheetz Stations are priced VERY reasonable too.

    Funny thing happened in Lincolnton Fri., Station across the street went up 25 cents every 2hrs. to1.00 more a gal. with no tanker throwin a shadow on the place all day! Was reported that another station owner was charged with price gouging, man climbed back up the ladder, lowered the price 40 cents. Just thinkin bout how this happened on 9-12, shame Fri. payday wasn't 9-11. Gettin to the point if you can't deduct gas from income it'll all be outgo!

    Thumbs down

    Boating and boat industry is the hardest hit by the gas price. Remember that Speaker of the House Pelosi has blocked all voting on the offshore drilling proposals. She is a democrat.

    The Attorney General's Office received about 2,500 complaints over the weekend from drivers alleging price-gouging by gas stations.

    It's all price goughing if you ask me. I have nothing against anyone making a profit and I don't like big gov't having it's hands in private buisiness affairs but someone needs to police big oil companies. And now they talk about bailing out these big brokers and lenders with my and your tax dollars. The CEO's at these companies were making in excess of 20 million a year and the average salary of its employees was over 400,000. No one can spend that much, seems like they should have saved some of that money and they could bail themselves out. Don't get me started, this country is taking a nose dive and I don't see it leveling off any time soon.

    Just get him on, then we'll worry about getting him in!
