Gas prices on the rise?

[TalkLady]

H1, I did type in my zip code and by town and state.....It's still pretty far off. I guess maybe it's not as accurate with the updates because of so many changes of the rising costs. Thanks for reminding us about GasBuddy.com though. I think usually it is pretty accurate!

There are lots of stations still showing up with low prices because nobody has upgraded them since Thursday, so that might be it in your case, but you can upgrade them yourself if you wish.

I haven't been out all day, but the stations on GasBuddy are still showing yesterday's prices, so I hope that's all we will see.

I don't get it! If the US government is so concerned with controlling as much as they can supply of oil as a national security issue, ie: the first gulf war with the USA defending Kuwait and now maintaining a presence in Iran, then why don't they set price limits (control the price of gas) on gas at the pumps. They allow large oil companies to gouge our pocketbooks with and do nothing! Is it too much to expect consistency?


Sorry, I just had to vent after reading about more gas price increases as a result of Ike.
