I just like to keep up with the news. It pays to be a little sharp on economics now and again (literally).

Amazing how you accuse concern about economics as hysteria but are generally bent out of shape over what DK Bernard might write about this week. I've never gone onto one of your many thread and accused you of hysteria.

Yes, it has been cheap in America compared to many other nations. Our economy is completely dependent upon it. When gas goes up, so does everything else.

Now, I am not a person who believes God wants people to be sick and broke, but, neither do I believe that everyone who lives for God is sick and broke but for a lack of faith. As a matter of fact, I find that a bit arrogant.

You obviously do not understand the "Prosperity Gospel" that we are exhorted to preach.

The last time I bought gas was Monday Dec. 27th. I paid $339.9 per gallon. I have a Kroger card and receive discounts. The time before the 27th that I bought gas I received a discount of 65 cents per gallon but I got no discount on the 27th when I had to pay the full price of $339.9. The Krogers I go to is about half a mile from my house and there are several other gas stations nearby --Shell, Marathon, UDF (Mobil), and Walmart, so they all keep their gas at the same price.

Did they discontinue the discount?

No, they did not discontinue the discount, but it varies with how much you have recently spent with their Kroger/US Bank credit card.

Let gas go way up, it will be another nail in Obama's re-election coffin. I think high gas prices were one of the main factors why people voted Obama.

We spend about $800 a month on groceries. A couple of weeks ago we put $1554 on that card for vehicle repair but I guess we've used up all that towards the gas discount. We usually get some kind of gas discount which varies from 10 cents to 65 cents per gallon but every so often (maybe once a month) we do not qualify for the discount.
