On the morning of 2/28, I go to get gas at the Shell around the corner from my apartment complex. I make a mental note of the price at $3.34/gal (3.39 9/10 really, but sue me if i round up that 1/10). On the morning of 2/29 at approximately 5 am, i go to the gym. I drive by the gas station, and that price had shot up to $3.38. I was lamenting b/c i didn't fill up the day before and was now out .04 cents a gallon.
.....
So, when i get back home from work later in the day (this was approximately 3 pm), i see the gas is now at $3.40/gal. Seriously, what the hell happened to the $3.38 rate? I've never seen a price have a shelf life so short.....
*shaking head*......
No wonder petrochemical companies are reporting some of the greatest annual profits in history. Case in point.
