Gas prices remain high in Murray

[Murray Dude]

Just filled up at $2.33/gallon at Racetrac at Rocky Face. Why is it still $2.49 in Chatsworth?

Because the retailer's can get by with it. They know we will buy it. I think it is called GREED! Greed has crippled America.....

It's actually simple economics. First of all, we're further away from a main hub of traffic (Interstate) so the trucks have to travel a greater distance to reach the stations. A very large portion of the gas GA uses comes from Louisiana via a gas pipeline that ends just outside of Atlanta. Second, we're a smaller town, and we're usually a week or 2 behind Dalton's price fluctuations. If gas prices go down, we don't sell as much, so they're still trying to sell last week's more expensive gas before they can move the cheaper gas in.

If you want to go that route, the DJIA was ~7000 when he took office, now it's at 10k.

I'll see your DJIA & raise you the amount of jobs lost since Obama took office.

I believe that would be 2.2 million jobs there Giff.

Sorry Bergdorf-those are May figures.The latest Labor Dept. stats have 3.49 million jobs lost since Obama took office.
Next time use Bing instead of Gurgle.

I'll see your job loss, and raise you the number of speeches that have amounted to nothing. Sorry, I lost track of that one.

Thanks Bergdorf.

Every thing is higher over here. Do what I do every week when I go to walmart fill up over in dalton. I wouldn't make a special trip over there that would be defeating your purpose but let's admit it everyone goes to walmart at least once a week. After all everything is much much much much cheaper than over here in CHATSWORTH.
