A few years ago, Granholm prosecuted some stations for gouging. It is time to do it again.

The sad part of this entire Spectacle, is that People were acting Like Crazed Maniacs at the pumps. Yelling, Rude, Inconsiderate & down right Stupid! Lines and lines of people cutting in front of each other, being rude to cashiers. It is amazing that in The United States, people act like they are fighting for food in a 3rd world country.And I am almost certain they dont act this bad.

Is NBC going to continue to have NFL on Thursday at 7 PM all season? And if so,will other arrangements be made for those that have watched Jeopardy every day at that time for 25 or so years

What a bunch of scared sheep. Not wanting to join the panicked sheep, we waited until late evening to gas up. We gassed at the Meijer's on S Penn for $3.92 (about 20c over last week). Here's what we saw today: 3:30-4:30pm Speedway? - S Penn @ Miller $3.92 Meijer's S Penn $3.92 Speedway? - Jolly @ Dunckel $3.92 ~5:45pm ~9:00pm Speedway? - Jolly @ Dunckel $4.12 ~9:00pm Admiral - S Penn $3.83 Speedway? - S Penn @ Miller $3.92 Meijer's S Penn $3.92 Speedways - Cedar @ Long $3.92

Mike Cox should be ready to prosecute. There is no reason gas should go up, yet a few stations went up over $1.

just to let you know, I shop at a local grocery market that also has a gas station up on a main street, and I filled my vehicle up @ $3.42 a gallon yesterday. I waited in line like the rest of ya, but well worth the 20 minute wait!

Well then, one station that should be prosecuted should be the Citgo on Mt. Hope between MLK and Washington...I was driving home today and they were charging $4.99 a gallon. I was lucky enough to get it for $3.92 at Speedway.
