Gas Prices

[bigscoop]

Spoke with a couple of different convenience store owners today, a BP and a Marathon, and as we were discussing the state of their businesses both expressed big concerns over the $4.00 per gallon price that they've been told to expect. I'm not sure our failing economy can handle $4.00 a gallon but it sure sounds like it's on the way this year?

$4.00 is not an unheard of price, gas hit that mark in 2008... I think it may go as high as $5.00 within a year, or two. Before you know it $4.00 gas will go the way of the $.0.50 pack of cigarettes, it'll be a thing of the past. Just think within the next decade you may be talking about the good ol' days when gas was only $4.00 a gallon :P

. . . and the good ol' days when:

• Unemployment was only 20%
• There was still money to buy food
• Families lived in houses instead of government dormitories
• Children were expected to know english
• Law enforcement officers didn't shoot first
• There was a Bill of Rights and Constitution to protect us

During a 'gas war' many, many years ago I saw gas at 5 cents a gallon. Cigarettes were 20 cents. I had no need for either at the time. Quit lining up at the pumps like sheep willing to pay whatever price gas is. But, if it hits 10 dollars a gallon, we'll still pay for it.

We will pay whatever we are told to pay. What is the alternative? walk to work?

We all keep wishing Silver & Gold would double.

Guess what !

If it does, Oil will also.

$60.00 Silver & $2800 Dollar Gold =
$200.00 a Barrel Oil & $7.00 a gallon Gas.

Not to mention $20.00 cans of Coffee
& other outrageous Prices.

Either way, We Loose
