Obvious gas price fixing and Congressmen cant see this?
We all knew that most likely gas prices would fall after the Memorial day weekend..and they are at least here in IN...And all of sudden refinery output increased...What does it take to convince Congress that yes the consumer is be gouged...

1. I wish I knew the answer to that.
What does it take for Congress to see that our rights and liberties are being stripped from us?

That our President is illegally altering bills with signing statements?

That our President and Vice President and their administration have lied to Congress and the American people to start a war, which has resulted in thousands of innocent lives being lost, and yet there's no grounds for impeachment?

Congress needs to open its eyes, get the lead out, and do their jobs.

Investigations are one thing, but action to put a stop to these crimes is long overdue.

3. How do you hide a big, farting elephant in the room?
Dress everyone as an elephant and serve beans.

Exactly right, B.

4. they want to petro campaign dollars too.

and now that it looks like the pukes are going to lose big time, many of them are just sitting tight waiting for the lobbists to roll the money in their way. Of course it's price fixing, 3.65 on Friday before a holiday and down to 3.36 on Tuesday after is beyond obvious.

5. A little insider trading going on......
So the DC gang gets the tip and are able to adjust their future trading (unleaded gas)accordingly? I honestly believe this must be happening..Now of course there are trust accounts that handle these trades for them...... but pockets are getting lined otherwise something would have been done a long time ago..But what about these new Congressmen that talked so much about taking action they are keeping quite now..
Some stations in northern part of IN are less than 3.30
.....
