babbling....

So the gas prices are doing alot of ugly things these days. I personally thing there's a nationwide price gouge from the opportunists trying to make some money. Even read a local report that some stores are claiming to be out of regular gas (or even mid) and only selling premium, and actually have regular to sell, something about waiting for it to reach $3.50. I've usually noticed that gas stations in a part of town basically had the same price, with a variance of no more than, say, a dime. Now, stores across the streets from each other seem to vary more like a quarter or so (one store even has a 60 cent difference from a neighboring store!!).

lastnite i noticed alot of people buying gas containers. One customer was telling me how people are fighting at some places. One thing I expected to happen was alot of rampant gas drive offs. some stores are at least getting smart and doing "prepay only" all the time. I also noticed customers buying locking gas caps, because people are now stealing the gas right out of your car. this shit is getting crazy
