Subject:Fuel Price Gouging - Again - It jumped nearly $1 locally here withing in just a few hours.

Anybody see this happening in your area?

Gas locally here jumped from $3.49 to $4.20 just this afternoon. 25
miles further down the road - greater deliver distance by truck - it has
gone to $5.25/gallon.

It's a rip, and ought to be stopped - at least until the next round of
fuel tanker deliveries. The fuel in the ground was  purchased at prices
based on sales calculated around $3.50 to $3.60 per gallon. There is no
justification for this except greed, pure and simple. I believe in free
market  - to a point. But  some things should not be subject to the
whims of the market place .... those things that are crucial to life and
civilization.
