It can be as high as 20 %.

I know I recieve several freight orders each month... and can pass it on in the product. But service calls are a bit more competitive.

I don't know what kind of games they were playing but I got gas at WM and the cars were three and four deep waiting to get to the pumps cause everyone else was charging $2,99 and up.

I can believe it. People around here do crazy things with the gas prices. I mostly buy gas in Corinth-- once a week when I go to do my shopping. It was $2.86 there last weekend when I went.

I don't know if you've been down 57 through Pocahontas lately... but you may know where Taylors grocery/convenience store is. They have been stuck on $2.99 since the last time gas hit $3.00 a gallon. I guess they got tired of the up and down prices. I just don't buy gas there because it seems watered down or something-- my van will NOT run on their gas..

Yeah, I know where you're talking about. There are several places like that I won't buy either. I would pay a few cents more to get it somewhere else.

Jon works in Blue Mountain and he goes down 45 to Corinth. He said he watched it go up two days in a row - totally a 23 cents hike, at Selmer Wal-Mart this week.

The real price of Gas should be around .60-.70 Cents a litre.
Anything else is inflated for profit!!!

Trivia: for every one cent a litre increase it means another million dollars "PROFIT" FOR THE OIL COMPANIES!

I said profit not the cost of the goods.

I hope more people wake up and smell the petrol-we is being hosed!
