We passed by the Jet Pep in Fultondale, across from the Taco Bell on Hwy 31. Check out what they’re charging for gas! Everyone else is 3.99.

    Hay Babie! I don’t think they’re price gouging, the price is
    changing so fast that a lot of stations haven’t had time to
    change the signs. The panic over fuel supplies is making
    all the suppliers freak out. I’ve asked a few station owners
    how much they make per gallon and they’ve all said it was
    under a nickel. Ask a few of them yourself. Democrats like
    high prices on the necessities because people will clammor
    for the government to do something and it will. It will come
    in and take over which will make things much worse.

    Yeah, this is nowhere near price gouging. I estimated price gouging for the day to be somewhere near $5.25 or $5.50 a gallon. Given the capacity of the refineries, at the moment $4.25 to $4.50 seems about right, depending on the company they receive their gas from.
    In about 4 weeks I see the price of gasoline going below $3.00 again. I am guessing $2.90 a gallon by late October because the price of a barrel of oil has dipped below $100. First time in a long time for that.
