I guess when you hide those kinds of things people don't know that. Apparantly greed knows no names.

Wow, I thought we had it rough at 2.79. It shot up to 2.89 today though... I don't know why there's a 10 cent jump in a day.

Or, if your like me, and own a well, your gas cost a total of somewhere around $0.02 per gallon, but thats just an estimate.

Why don't you just buy land here and drill, you have a higher chance here than any other state. Found my well in my backyard.
(plus, our land is dirt cheap, for VERY fertile land, wheat grows like a charm, and China pays an ***load for wheat)

The Gas price as of today is 3.15/gallon. The unfortunate thing is.. I was the one who ordered the change. My uncle owns 3 gas stations in Michigan and I help manage the place during the weekends. But here is what I have noticed. Though the price of gas has gone up in the recent past.. the amount of gas sold in all the stations has pretty much been the same.

In Warren (on my way to work) gas has gone up $0.20 and down $0.10 (3.08 -> 3.28 -> 318) in the last 2 days. I don't mind the prices so much as the volatility.

Anywhere from $2.89 to $3.19 in an Ohio town of 9,000 (I don't know why it fluctuates so much in such a small town). Here I thought it was only the US having gas problems, it kinda makes me feel a little bit better to know other parts of the world are having this problem too.
