No ... Nobody is Gouging Gas Prices
Driving along a section of Greenbelt Road in Langley Park, the price of regular gas ranges from $2.97 a gallon to $3.65 a gallon. Now, I am fully aware that some stations set their prices based on what the current wholesale price is, and others set their prices based on the wholesale price of what they put into their holding tanks. I also realize that prices are highly volatile and rising constantly. However, a 68-cent per gallon range is very suspicious.
Somebody is making a butt-load of money off this disaster (other than fuel commodities traders), and hopefully Shrub will be ready to prosecute his oil-company buddies when the facts emerge about price-gouging practices.
