    Highway Robbery

    Just filled up my little puddlejumper for 27 bucks (only $2.02 per gallon). I almost feel like I'm robbing Exxon-Mobil at that price, which is probably no more than a two or three hundred percent markup (just guessing) and nowhere near the "obscene" profits they're used to.

    Do you think I should write the CEO and apologize?

      The apology is due to Saudi Arabia, President Ahmadinejad of Iran, Putin of Russia, and a few other OPEC nations////thats where most of the price of gas ends up.

          There were some native indians in Alaska who were offered free oil for heating in their village which is hurting economically.

          The head guy said "No Thanks" to Chavez.

            We're still paying $1.99 at a lot of places around here (South Texas).
