3. It better, now i'm pissed...

These idiots said they were charging almost at cost, for oil/gas, and now they are posting record profits? My god this makes me so mad, i wish i had some actual pull in this country, i would go after these assholes. This is the biggest example of PRICE GOUGING i have ever seen...Gas has been screwing, me and the rest of america since what, march, april? And these freaking yahoo's are posting record profits...my ass, there should be a HUGE investigation in to this...wait, i'm going to write Roy Blunt about this shit, like it would do anything, but oh well...(aka i'm in sw missouri)...
