Lenoir was back up to 2.29 yesterday :'( Hope the dirty Renazicans in Congress choke on all that oil money

It sure would be nice if you would make a post with some facts in it. Neither political party has anything to do with gas going back up. It is because the USW union is striking at the refinery's and less gas means higher prices.

Seems as though any excuse works for them to raise prices. Reductions, not so much

Wonder if the snow will give them another excuse to go up a bit?

Couple places in Lenoir are still 2.13. Others are from 2.14 to 2.19. How about your local stations?

I can understand that. Seems Hitler hated unions because they were socialist, at least in his opinion .

Interesting article I can say I'm dang sure not for the Gov. taking over and replacing the unions since very few things the Gov. touches gets better. But I am for being able to stop unions from strong arming the country when it comes to things such as fuel and imports/exports.

Union have their place but I think they have become way to powerful. We can thank them for high prices across the board. Get ready for the price of food and everything else to go UP UP and UP thanks to the long shore man strike that has shut down the west coast ports.

So, would you bust the unions, or no?

Prices were going down because Saudi Arabia is dumping oil on the world market. When the united steel workers started to strike the price of gas started going back up do to the lack of gas being made. If the union were to go back to work the price would stabilize and start to drop again until something else happen to shorten supplies. S.A . has say that they aren't going to cut production even if the price of oil drops below 20 bucks a barrel. Even so it doesn't matter how cheap oil is if the refinery's are shut down because of the union strike.

So, you are saying if we take the Reich wing approach as Hitler did and bust the unions, prices will stop rising?

So who do we blame for prices rising again? Just as a Repub Congress takes over. Coincidence ?

You have had that question answered several times its because the oil workers union is on strike. It had nothing to do with the Repubs and for you to keep on claiming that is does shows that you are either trolling or uniformed.
