Yep yep yeppers!

I'm a lot less concerned about the thieves at the local GasMart than the thieves in Washington.

The ones at GasMart are robbing us of a few bucks. The ones in Washington are robbing us of thousands!

I rely on the GOVERNMENT CALIBRATED gas pumps to deliver...

This whole approach to the mindset that we're getting screwed by somebody somewhere down the oil food chain is ridiculous. These franchise gas stations have calibrated pumps. Period. They have to. Now you might be snookered by Billy Bob's Gas & Go in the middle of nowhere, but even that's a stretch.

Gas stations and oil companies are not screwing you. It's called the U.S. Congress. I have to put up with this at work. Thanks for the wonderful memories, L. :-)

Thanks for the wonderful memories, L.

You're welcome - I think. (Any hard feelings - please keep them to yourself - eh?)

[writer33]

No hard feelings. Just made me think of the gas price debate that went on far too long the other day. More than one was thoroughly conviced someone was sticking it to us.

My reply: “Yes, Congress.”

I and many others add to that, much more sugar alcohol, electric cars, and natural gas....pay alot less and have a cleaner burning car. Gasoline competition will see the price drop dramatically!
