Over the weekend just past gasoline in the el-cheapo stations (Speedway & Racetrack) went up 2 cents a gallon Sunday night at midnight from 1.23.9 to $1.25.9. I bough gas Tuesday morning early before the attach at $1.25.9/gallon. After the terrorist attack, by mid-day gasoline had jumped 10 cents a gallon. This was in Pelham, AL (just south of Birmingham in north Shelby County). In Montgomery, AL, same stations jumped to $1.45.9. Simple price gouging ....greedy bastards! John Rodgers 88 GL Driver |
