Are Consumers Getting Gauged? Yes.
So a report released today tells up what we mostly already knew- where getting gauged at the pumps. Was this a surprise to anyone? I mean really, when you see that the price of gas is in the $1.30 mark and they're really haven't been any significant events to bring it up, I know I'm getting gauged. And the fact is, the Oil companies are not as poor as they would like us to think. Several of the companies produced record profit's last year, upwards of $40 billion! Something's not right. And the fact is, the government is not helping. They introduced regulation a while back and the fact is, it's not helping. Gas prices still go up and up and down, in that order. I know when I'm being gauged belive me. Such as when you go to buy RAM for your Mac from Apple. Or when you buy a copy of Windows Vista Ultimate. Belive, sometimes, it's painfully obvious.
