Prices must be brutal on the Cape, most here were at 2.99 last night when I came home tho one station still had gas at 2.87. Im hearing that it will be at least 3.20 by sunday in this area.

I was at the pumps at Cumby's getting gas when the attendant came out with a 4 in his hand. (Gas was $3.11 when I was filling up) I asked him if it was going up to $3.14, he said no...$3.41  |

10 years ago I had a 1974 land rover; got 12miles/gallon, had a 12gallon tank; cost me 12 bucks to fill it (1.09 was alot)
I'm no economist; but I dont think the 'stringent' environmental laws have increased the production cose by 3X; yet cost has gone up to 3X its price 10 years ago....
While I dont just blame this administration, this blows; it is crippling anyone making minimal wage or there abouts; especially outside of RI where people actually DRIVE some distance to a job...

Agreed, around here a LONG commute is 8 or 9 miles one way. Elsewhere 20 to 30 one way is probably a more normal commute. That translates into BIG money over a month for the average family.
I bet that it's no conicidence that the shop has been pretty dead the past few days, yet the website is very active. |
