Gas Prices SUCK

There's an article over on Yahoo! indicating that "White House Wants Better Explanation for Gas Prices". Now, I know a LOT of our readership is out of the country, and live with insane gas prices (I've read that prices in France get up to $5/gal-WOW). But in the Midwestern US (where The Haus is located) we're paying 40 cents more on the average than the rest of the US for gasoline. I personally think this sucks-especially considering that the supposed "stricter air polution laws" are just as prevalent in California, where gas prices AREN'T insane.

Like I've always said-gross profit is king. The customer does NOT matter. Gotta love it :-/

J.t.Qbe comments: I hear that they're even worse in Wisconsin than they are here in Minnesota--yikes! I too would like a better explanation why gas prices go up $.50/gallon over two weeks, and why they only go up and up. As you said, though, the customer doesn't matter. We're only sheep who produce money which can be harvested at greater and greater rates at the whim of the corporate overlords. Gotta love it.
