Here they go again!

[kentuck]

Remember last year when gas was $4.00 per gallon? Well, it's going back up again. It's Groundhog Day once more!

They run up the price to unbelievable levels, take all the money they need, and then let the prices go back down. They pull the same trick year after year after year.

When the prices go down to about $1.29 per gallon, drivers tend to forget those days and weeks when they paid $4.00 per gallon. But don't be deceived, the big oil companies still make money when gas is $1.29 a gallon. Some estimate that they make an extra billion dollars for each penny that the price goes up?

But, we are in the midst of the old shell game once again. Just so you know.

1. What I heard on the radio was Oil companies were trying to boost falling PROFITS

Exxon must not be making OVER One Hundred Million Dollars a DAY in pure NET PROFIT as they did for over six straight years during the Bush* Rule..
