REALLY?...REALLY??

Today on the 12:30 news, they had a story about how the price of gas was going to go up because of the "unrest in the middle east".
Well, lo & behold, while driving Phyl to the knee doctor, drove past a Sunoco station selling regular for $3.11/gallon. 2-1/2 hours later, it was mysteriously $3.15 - imagine, they'd already received restless fuel from the middle east in that short time span!!. And Phyl's regular Sunoco station when I drove by 1-1/2hours after that...$3.19!!! I guess they received their delivery from an even more restless part of the middle east.
You know, there ought to be a law against raising the price at a gas station until they've actually had a delivery of gas. How many times do you see the price go up and down 3-4 times in one week? Too many.
And yet, the last two times I was in Canada, each time for 2 weeks, the price of gas didn't change one penny, so why is that...?
Though, in fairness, there is a Citgo station in Lakeland that does only change his gas prices after a delivery (about every 2-3 weeks).
And the rest of you...you just oughtta be ashamed...
