The wholesale price of gasoline ranged from $4 to nearly $5 a gallon in the U.S. Gulf Coast throughout the day today, said Tom Kloza, publisher and chief oil analyst of the Oil Price Information Service in Wall, N.J. That was up significantly from about $3 to $3.30 a gallon on Wednesday, Kloza said

FYI:
The Mobile station at the corner of Wesleyan and Westheimer is forcing drivers into the full service lane, then charging a full 50 cents more for full service gas. Manager is not giving people an option, then acting shocked when they complain about it. When I complained, he told me that I had "accepted" the price when he forced me into the lane. I told him that I wanted him to inform the drivers behind me that they were going to pay a higher price by moving into the lane he pointed them into. Instead, he yelled "shut off the pumps! This woman is responsible for no one getting gas. You are not getting gas today. Everyone go home! Shut off the pumps!"
That is a form of price gouging, and it is illegal.

I the terminals closed today at 2:30 so you better believe that come Saturday people will pay whatever it takes. Also Diamond Shamrocks onn Hwy 6 were only selling premium tells me one thing saving the reg. for when no one has any and jump up the price. They do the same shit every time. If you look at there sign it low grade is 3.32 which is cheap you pull in sign on pump only have premium. Sale out of unsaleable Premium and then sell the low grade for top dollar.
Max in a few hours you won't see a Thomas truck for days. People will pay whatever it takes. Only us smart people that filled up when we had a choice will be happy. Gas on Hwy 6 and Keith Harrow is $3.39 right now while it last. I can't get over Ice everywhere they want like $1.75 a bag. My Chevron has 20lbs bags for .99 I bet they sold 10,000 bags today alone. But $1.75 for 8 pounds is nuts.
due to the government bailout of wall street, what a fcuking shame the things that are happening to this once great nation. that fcuking dumbass hick from texas will without a doubt be remembered as the biggest fckuking idiot ever to grace the presidentcy. thanks for the lasting memories mr president.
up huge !
