Alright gas prices is just damn ridiculous. I will never complain that gas was $2.30 anymore. Yesterday gas started at $2.30, shot up to $2.89 by end of the day. Overnight, gas shot up to $2.99, but I went to fill up at 6 different stations to find that they’re sold out of gas (none coming till SUNDAY), and the last one I went to only had premium at $3.19. Then on the way home regular was $3.19 and as of now is $3.55. Many stations are out of gas, and the ones that have it now are just plain gouging. At least the price isn’t $6 yet, like it is in Chicago. Boy this weekend is going to suck.

The stupid thing is that gas stations are gouging for gas that’s already in their holding tanks that they purchased at a much cheaper price. The oil pipelines fuel crude oil to refineries (like the ones in Elizabeth, NJ) for future supply of gasoline, while the refineries have stock piles of already produced gasoline that can supply for months on end. Just look at the containers at Port Newark! Greedy bishes…

I grabbed a few political cartoons based on this issue, check out them in my gallery…
