Paid $2.91 at a normally competitive filling station for unleaded 92
octane yesterday.

Looks like a repeat of the 2005 fuel pricing may be in store. Those
*******s. But I guess you can't blame them, since most of the increase
last year went straight to the Record Profit Bottom Line of the big oil
companies and their stock prices have now been adjusted to take those
profits into account. Failure to reproduce the same type of earnings
this year would have a negative impact on future stock values, and we
certainly couldn't have that, could we?
