now the real question is, if the price of your raw product goes up granted your end product will go up but how the hell do you turn RECORD profits in the mean time? I am not an economist by any means but can someone explain this to me? and how it's been going on for so long.
My 2 cents are that we are SO dependant on oil they can rape us at the pumps and there is nothing we can do about it.
^^^ that's probably all there is to it. We need it, they know that, they can charge whatever they want. But it suits them best to raise it slowly, cuz if they did it drastically we'd all find other ways around. But since they give us time to adapt.. plus they're probably testing the market, how high can they go before most people just can't afford it, at all.
Its sad, on the way home from the meet i stopped and got gas for 91.1 and i was excited about that. Grrrrr, stupid oil companies.
LOL that reminds me of the Petro-Can at steels and trafalgar, their sign broke a while ago, but it's fixed now but at one point when gas was in the mid 80's their 9 was stuck infront of their prices so it read 9.829 LTR lol
