Caught Ya!
Nebraska/Minnesota. To all of you gas station owners who claimed that you only make a few cents per gallon on your gas you sold. And blamed the Gulf War, 9-11, Hurricane Katrina, and the breeze to having to raise your prices, your fuckin' busted!!
In Minnesota, Faremount in particular, gas went up to $3.06 per gallon. In Pankato it was $2.79. Then Minnesota state attourney general investigated the price hike and said that the gas prices are gouging the Minnesota consumers and the difference in prices around the state are unfounded and that they had better drop the prices or there would be hell to pay.
Similarly, in Omaha, Nebraska. Gas went up to $3.69 per gallon. Then, the senator of Nebraska said that he was going to investigate the reason for the gas hike and lo and behold, before the investigation started, gas is back down to $2.79.
No, this wasn't because a group of idiots decided to boycott the gas stations, it wasn't a letter to congress, it was the fact that gas station owners are afraid that the American public is going to start thumpin' some ass if something didn't change. I've personally worked at a gas station, I've been there when the tanker trucks fill up the tanks, I've seen the invoices. Back then, gas was hiked up to $1.75 from .98. When I saw the invoice, the station paid .48 cents per gallon.
