Drivers are fuming about high gas prices

And the people who post as "Harry" haven't been this happy since they
thought 10,000 had died in New Orleans.

Drivers are fuming about high gas prices

BRUNSWICK COUNTY--

It seems the rich get richer and drivers get poorer. Exxon-Mobil
announced a record first quarter earning of $8.4 billion. That's tough
for many people to hear as they pay more than three bucks
a gallon for gas.

It's not the gray day that had people down. It's the price at the pump.
At an Exxon station in Brunswick County, it's $2.99 a gallon for
regular unleaded.

"This truck here likes gas. Takes about $80 a day to fill it up,"
driver Mark Benton said.

Benton drives his gas-guzzling truck for work each day. He's thought
about down-sizing but hasn't done it yet. He and others find it hard to
believe that a company can make $8.4
billion over three months and still charge sky-high prices for
gasoline.

"That's crazy," Benton said. "I mean, I don't know why they can't lower
the price some if they're
making that big a profit then they ought to be able to lower it." "You'd
have to be a dummy not to know somebody's gouging somebody,"
driver Jaques Lamarshe said. "If I did business that way or anyone else
did business that way, I
bet you they'd be stopped quickly." Down the road another Exxon station
is selling gas for 10 cents more
per gallon. Workers say they don't like charging high prices, but that's
what
their distributor charges them.

Nationally lawmakers in Washington are trying to make a difference. They
are tossing around ideas like a gas-tax holiday, sending a $100
rebate check to all drivers or rewarding people who ride bikes.

Only moronic liberal drivers.
I don't find it any problem. Less lines, less traffic, less pollution.
In Europe gas is over $5 a gallon and nobody blames Bush. Ha ha ha.
Get used to it and get over it. Moveon, as the mentally deranged say.
Moveon. Gas is fine.

Crazy? The United States has about the cheapest Gasoline in the
industrialized world. It's not just Exxon sell gas at current
"inflated" prices. Citgo is selling at the same price
