What bites my butt is how stations will jump up the price by 10-20 cents in one pop and then lower it a penny at a time!!

Consider this:

Oil & Gas contributions to political campaigns:

2000 Total Contributions: $34,349,831
2000 Donations to Democrats: $7,049,,406
2000 Donations to Republicans: $26,794,056

2002 Total Contributions: $24,923,759
2002 Donations to Democrats: $5,014,182
2002 Donations to Republicans: $19,899,682

2004 Total Contributions: $25,625,089
2004 Donations to Democrats: $5,015,385
2004 Donations to Republicans: $20,583,339

Through July 6, 2006:

2006 Total Contributions: $11,098,479
2006 Donations to Democrats: $1,812,282
2006 Donations to Republicans: $9,282,857

Hmmm... Any one else notice a trend?

I personally find it hard to support any politician lately - Republican or Democrat. It just seems like we are headed down the wrong path as a nation and as a world.

Maybe in 2006 I will do a write in ballot - Bryan Nesbitt for President!
Howard Dean, is that you?

I cannot believe it is more costly to truck the gas, maybe in that part of the country it is. Here in Superior Wis, 3 of the companies get their gas from the same refinery here in Superior. Every station in Superior is the exact same price for gas, Same as Duluth MN but with less tax in MN it is .08 cheeper a gallon. Now the further you go from Superior the gas gets cheaper. 20-30 miles away it is .05 less.

A nation at war. 2,592 dead sons and daughters in Iraq (hidden from public consciousness). A national debt of $8,454,258,293,232.21 (that has increased an average of 1.68 billon dollars per day since September 30, 2005) and an estimated share per U.S. citizen of $28,250.70. I guess when you really consider it, the price of gas is the least of our problems.

Howard Dean - no. Aware American - yes.

Cheers!
