the fluctuations is what frosts my cookies... 2.46,2.49 Eastham/Orleans... 2.22, 2.25 Chatham/Harwich... what really burns me is Cumbys/Gulf, they are all owned by one company, not independent... 2.46 in Orleans, short ride over to Chatham, 2.25 3, 4 cents a gallon, I don't look twice, but 20 cents!, thats friggen gougin'.. was the same when it was up high, even worse, at one point there was a 30 cent spread between the 2... if I need a fill-up, 25-30 gallons, it's worth the trip, and time...

I remember when I worked pumping gas as a kid... when it hit 35 cents a gallon, people threw a freakin' fit... couple years later, it was 65-70 cents, and Pinto's and Vega's were all the rage....
ahhh Vega's.. real sleeper once ya stuffed a 350 under the hood

I filled up on Friday for $1.99 per gallon at the Mobil station on Route 60 in Revere opposite the Northgate Mall.

I saw $2.04 at the Shell station on Cambridge Street in Cambridge on Saturday morning and I paid $2.37 in Newburgh, NY this morning. It's still $2.35 at the Exxons & Mobils on the Mass Pike, which is clearly price gouging.

They have been gouging us all along. Or are they trying to tell us that they are Losing $ now?! Lowest here is $2.04. Curious if anyone has seen $1.99 yet?Its coming.

Don't forget, those stations probably have to pay a pretty penny to the Turnpike Authority to get the franchise.

Here in NY, we used to have two bait and tackle shops at two state parks. The buildings are still there, but the shops aren't. Know why? Cause the state wanted $250,000 from each just to keep their doors open.
