Ask most gs station owners and they will tell your they make lees then 3cents on a gallon, alot work with like .5cents and so on. Thats besides the point though, the people were acting fucking crazy yesterday. They are a bunch of paniking pussies. They were coming in and getting gas in like 5 gallon kegs!! WTF???? If all you assholes would just go about normal business then nothing would have happened, the gas would be there, not one place would really have runout due to gas shortages, they can get deliveries from up noirth or other places. But it was like the fuckin domino effect, one bastard out there starts saying were gonna have a gas crisis, and the whole city fills up at one time, forcing everyone to go to the stations because they really will need to fill up in the next day or so and they can't because Bob over there came with 10 5 gallon kegs and took all the fucking gas.

The owners can raise prices as much as they fucking want to. If I were one of the gas station owners I would have gone to $5+ and controlled the goddamn crowd for the night then drop down after midight to regular prices.

Chicken Farmer made a decision out of his ass, it was like a fucking communist, the government should never be able to control haw much profit one person can make. If you don't like the stations that gouged, don't go to them, you are the consumer. But atleast they still have gas, I just saw QT at 3.34 and they were at 2.80 yesterday, but because they ranout overnight, they probably had to get a special delivery and paid more so now you paymore. BOOOHOOOOO.
I can garauntee you that:

A) any gas station who was most expensive in their area still has gas, and
B) There were people this morning who could NOT find gas because prices were kept artificially low and the retarded myrmidons who were rushing the pumps put gas in everything that could hold liquid. If they put it up to $5 a gallon for 24-48 hours, the people who really NEEDED it could get it, and everyone else would begin rationing and budgeting appropriately, instead of mass hysteria.
