Vanity - Gas prices went up 14 cents TODAY
09/08/12 | My own lying eyes

Posted on 09/08/2012 4:53:04 PM PDT by P.O.E.

Bought gas in NJ noon today at $3.559. On the return trip, around 6PM, price was $3.699.

I'm pretty sure it's because of pending QE3, but I'm no expert.

I expect the price of everything else to soon rise accordingly.

I've been putting this sticker on gas pumps:

"Somehow we have to figure
out how to boost the price of
gasoline to the [$8-$10/gal]
levels in Europe." - Barack Obama's
Energy Secretary Steve Chu. Had enough yet???

I've sized mine to fit twelve to a sheet of bumper sticker stock...

Went up 10 cents on Long Island between mid-morning & mid-afternoon. Noticed the price at our local Shell station on the way home from breakfast - $4.09. About 5 hours later, passed the same station - $4.19.

Drove from way downeast Maine to the midcoast area (150 miles) today and saw prices from 3.809 to 3.999.

Overall, prices have gone up in our area about 20 cents over the past week or so.

It’s just those evil oil companies trying to make Obama look bad.

It’s always slated to go DOWN after Labor Day; the futures always reflect the expectation that people are finished with vacations since school has started, decreasing demand. That it should be up that much is horrific.

SoCal was $4.25/gal yesterday for the low end, up about .10 since the last fill up.

OT: Was told yesterday by reliable source that Los Angeles will be bankrupt in 2014, even though Villaraigosa said it won't happen on his watch. I guess that means the day after he leaves office next June. A few months ago, the LAPD Police Chief said his department has taken a $120 million budget reduction and can't pay officers overtime.

We're moving out of state, hopefully before the election.

Facts and reality don’t matter to the Sheeple. Obama gives good speeches, is “cool”, and you’re a racist if you don’t vote for him. When stacked up against all that, what difference do little things like the economy and personal finances make?

The price of everything is already rising. Around here, chicken feed is up 33% in the last month alone . . .

At this point I'm not sure what could take down Obama. He's teflon. Look at the polls amidst an economic train wreck.

Good, let's hope they jack it up to $6, $7/gallon right about mid-October then!
