RE: [Chevelle-list] Re: Gas Prices

[John Nasta]

You know that they are just gouging when a tragedy happens one day and gas prices go up the very next day. The gas they are selling today didn’t cost them a penny more than the gas that they sold two days ago. I spoke with a friend last night who said that stations in NYC are up to $3.40 already. That is amazing because I was driving earlier yesterday and it was still *only* about $2.75. These fuel companies have big reserves and the impact of a tragedy like this doesn’t hit them overnight. That doesn’t stop them from raising prices overnight though. It would be nice if instead of releasing oil from the Federal emergency reserve our President would put a clamp on this price gouging that's going on.
