Gas prices are up today becuase of price gouging - plain and simple. My local gas station bumped up gas by about 60 cents today alone, dramatically incresing the profit on gasoline THAT THEY PURCHASED A WEEK AGO. Has anyone ever heard of a gas station dramtically LOWERING the prices on their pumps becuase of good news??? Me either.
And if you check, oil company profits are at an all time high.
