ATTN: Americans: Bend over!
Social Bacon:
Not going up in one localized area does not mean that it's not changing in other places. Different cities get their gas from different refineries. If the refinery your city relies on was unaffected than it's no surprise that the price didn't change.
Jackie Blue:
Thank you, (p)tommy. I don't believe I ever said that this was going to happen everywhere, I said I talked to three people whose job it is to change the gas price numbers on their signs. I should suspect those people would know what they're talking about, as regards their own gas station or chain of stations.

That's not saying that it was going to happen everywhere?
I mean I think everyone ganging up on you was pretty unwarranted, but damn, dude.
Jackie Blue:
You're right, I stand corrected. I posted in haste I suppose.
That doesn't excuse people from being massive dicks to me and saying that I'm lying about someone calling me who had been to several stations. I know it's not a particularly verifiable "source" but Christ, I've been around here long enough that I think people could assume I'm not just making shit up.

Another friend reports:
"Just stopped at a Shell, I'm supposed to use premium, but they are rationing to $35.00, and premium was $4.99 vs the downright cheap regular at $4.59, so in my car that would get me just out of the parking lot. So I bought cheap gas, bounced up and down on the trunk to mix it well, and bought a can o' Octane Booster just in case. I'm gonna put an umbrella out the sunroof and use it as a sail.
In other news, for the first time in my life I may see US fuel price signs look like they did when I went to Germany in 1993."
