Economy

I know that. Just seems a bit off to focus moreso on the "hey poor person you don't need this luxury" personal responsibility angle than the "hey powerful corporation systematically preying on and exploiting people for gain" one.
How is a corporation exploiting someone by selling them something they don't need at a higher price?

 
Just some local info.

Last Thursday I filled up for $3.07 gal at Sams. They are typically about 25¢ to 30¢ below the best prices around.

This morning about 8AM I was going to top off the tank at $3.36 but the lines were too long so I went straight to work. Went back at 10AM and the price had already increased to $3.54. On my way back I saw $3.88 at what is typically the next cheapest place in town.

No point, just sharing.

 
Man, we would love some of that $3.88 gas here in California.
I bet  :P

Seriously though, many years ago we drove to San Diego via the Grand Canyon and Disneyland. I couldn’t believe that gas prices were sooo high in Cali. $2.75/gal near San Diego. At the time that was over a dollar higher than anything I had ever seen before anywhere.

What was the first gas price you remember?

I remember .69 cents.  Took about 5 dollars to fill up my Saturn about halfway.
