[RC] The cost to riders - rides2far

Ya know what chaps MY hide? Yesterday AM gas was 3.19 a gallon across 
the  > road. When we came home from dinner at 10PM it was $3.29. We
weren't 
home to see >  it , but to our knowledge, there were no tankers
bringing in new, 
more > expensive  fuel 

I don't mean to necessarily defend oil companies...but as a business
thing it makes sense to me. If you have refineries that are damaged and
have to be repaired, and overtime to pay to get them back on line, and
you're still paying for those refineries whether they're up and running
or not...the expenses are piling up fast. It's not like they were able to
make $2.43 gas last week, can take 3 weeks off, and then produce $2.43
gas again right away. People's salaries have to be paid whether any gas
is coming out of there or not and if they have gas in the pump that's
still theirs, they've got the right to raise the price. 

By the way, I filled up the huge tank in our van and my brother called to
say he's got a buyer for it. You can bet I'm getting ready to siphon that
stuff out!
