Time to rant, screw big oil and/or their retailers

[onebadcad]

Okay, this is a performance-related thread, as the non-performance wussies run a lesser octane fuel and most do not buy fuel as they only stare at their cars, driving them would lead to wear and tear, which allows for more discretional income to put 20s, faux hood vents, neon kits and TVs in the trunk---so again, Tony, my Paesano, do not move, or I will have no choice but to buy my V2 from Scott, and that would pain me as much as it would you, accettare?

Back on topic, just paid $3.00/gal for Mobil 93 octane, FAWK 'EM BASTAGES. Crude is trading at $80-81/barrel, why so high, as IIRC, at $149/barrel I paid $4.50/gal for premium. BTW, no new fuel taxes levied in past few years, so the Gov is not adding to this. This shiat is robbery, someone needs to have their nutz cutoff, tired of getting screwed but not kissed, you may see me on the 6 o'clock news,,,

And if you are in the industry, please politely refrain from commenting, as I do not want to be subject to some contrived reason that only has merit if Big Oil is paying your bills in life.

BTW, six pimply kids standing around their mother's Hondas in a parking lot is not a car meet, it is a convention of buttwipes too young to get into a bar, and too ugly to find babes.

It ain't capitalizm when collusion exists, its criminal. Also, many will argue free market/consumer rights are non-existent in a market where they are few entrants/suppliers. I cannot think of many industries that have less power players than Big Oil, most off-brands buy their products from the big providers as they do not have resources to set up their own distribution channels. Sadly, and even though I hate Big Gov, someone needs to look at gasoline consumer pricing strategies and justifications. Utilities are held to more rules regarding increases, and we all spend more on gasoline than electricity each month.

This thread needs help:

[dirt_cheap_fleetwood]

It just cost me $67 to fill the Brougham. It got 13.7 mpg this tank, a little better than normal.

I don't mean to be a jagoff here but if you can afford a high performance V, a C6 Vette and you are planning on purchasing a V2, I think you can afford a little increase in gas prices. Quit your bitching and just be happy its not $4+ a gallon like it was a few years ago. We all knew that this recession wouldn't last forever and eventually it would go back up.

Regular here is $3.28/gal and I live 14 miles from the refinery. You have no squawk coming.

I'd kind of agree with dirt cheap here.

But I also agree that the government does need to step in and do something and cap oil prices in some way. They can do it to every other utility. Is gas not a utility? You might not get unlimited monthly use, but it sure as hell is one in my book.

We have it easy compared to Europe.
