I have said this along time ago, but no one seemed to listen. I have worked in the petro industry for many years. This price increase that we have seen in the past few months has no reason for it. There is no refinery down, nothing, nothing, nothing. It is just plane fleacing of America and F-ing you out of your money.
Its easy for me to do this Ilaready dont buy from them they are .10 higher than anybody elsewhere i live.
Im in...I never buy from them either way... :crossx:
Not to be negative, but I got this e-mail about 5 months ago. I still to this day have not bought from exxon, mobile. So far no change in price for the better. It will work, but everyone needs to do it.
are Exxon/Mobil stations indipendantly owned? ive heard about and read about this tactic before and thought it was something to consider. but not before researching all the pro's and con's.
I've done my part!

since you have worked in the industry, can you explain to me why diesel prices have basically doubled? isnt diesel a less refined product made from the waste of refined gasoline? when gas prices raise 10 cents the media and the people start screaming. when diesel prices raise $1.00 nobody seems to care. i never hear anything on the radio, see anything on the news, what gives? did the oil companies just find a way to increase profits and not get called on it?
