High gas prices limiting travel

Gas prices too high?? DUH! | 7:30 a.m. Aug. 29, 2008
Really? Gas prices are too high? We are staying home? A storm is in the Gulf and oil is going up? Iran's leader sneezed and oil is going up again?

I for one will severly limit how much I will purchase from the greedy oil companies. That also means I will limit everything else I buy. I will not be traveling this Labor Day. Why? Because year after year they raise the price of gas in anticipation of holliday travel. Now it is above rediculously priced and I am not willing to pay. Stick it where the sun doesn't shine oil companies!

Most Utahn's by now know that our much higher price for a gallon of gasoline is artifically set by folks that are in collusion one with another. Wonder what else is artifical about these same folks? Just ask them what the ".9" (nine-tenths of one cent) is all about. If you know one of these people tell them, but don't necessarily blame the clerks at the counter as they just do "what their computers" tell them to do. Also, take the time to use your senses and be aware of all of the other artificial malarky we have to contend with everyday. But thanks go to the petroleum distributors for "leading" the way.

Morgan Hamatake of Salt Lake City pumps gasoline at a Salt Lake Chevron station Wednesday afternoon. Partly because of fuel prices, Hamatake plans on visiting her family in Tooele this weekend rather than driving to Denver.
