Gas prices before the snow earlier this week

[Raven]

it bumped up to $2.19 here .... everytime i see draft horses now, i get a friggan (mental) woody.... someday: i'll custom build a wooden wagon made out of the best lumber i can buy.... with an expensive shock absorbing frame ,custom leather seats ect. and after i determine what it costs me in vet bills and hoof care, hay and grain,tack, for a year i'll do the math and have a sign on the back showing how many miles i get per gallon which be divided into that cost per horse.

what ever i say ..i always do.... life is only as good as living your dreams.

Thinking about it more it IS winter time, not an uncommon time for fuel prices to rise. Consumption is up, but mostly fuel oil and natural gas. Tough to really explain why gas is on the rise though.

2.17 is the cheapest I have found on the south shore. This is seriously ridiculous. After katrina everybody was yelling and screaming about gas prices going up. They went back "down" for about a day and now they are going back up just as quick but not as many people are outraged it seems. Why is that?

We're being conditioned (brainwashed) into thinking that what we're paying now is better than the $3.25-$3.50 we were paying and everyone is okay with that
I've never seen the oil market so volitile as it has been for any reason at all. Cold weekend coming up? Let's raise prices! Got a hangnail? Let's raise prices!
