bullshit. Do you realize how much money has been made in just one week when gas went from 2.68 per gal to 3.19 all at one time. Nothing else changed, taxes the same , delivery costs the same . That's 51 cents a gallon pure profit plus however much they were making before the increase times how many gallons sold just here in Illinois.
