Dear Big Oil Companies:
You made billions upon billions of dollars last year. Our combined household income was $100k. Like others, we have house payments, insurance, energy costs, food expenses, and the ever-popular credit card debt.
What the hell is up with a 20 cent increase in gas prices over the course of 4 days? Weren't the billions you made last year enough to give us a little bit of a break? Gas was $2.09 in our area two weeks ago. Today, it's $2.59. I looked - there was no hurricane this time, so what's your justification for raising prices 50 cents in a two week period? Explain to me how your profit lined pockets are more important than the ability for the working people to be able to afford the gas for them to get to work. Please. I'm listening.
High Temperature: 78° F
Low Temperature: 51° F

The price goes up here mysteriously on Thursdays in the summer. They want to get as much money out of the tourists as they can I guess. They don't stop to think about those of us who have to work two jobs to make ends meet. Even if they did think about us, they wouldn't much care. People say, it could be worse, they pay more in other countries, and that's true, but those other countries also have great mass transit systems. Most of us here in the US don't have access to trains to get around.
