Consumer Tip

Wow! I paid $20 yesterday to almost fill the gas tank. This is getting serious, so let me point out – in case you didn’t know it - that a Roberts Oil Company station at Wyoming and Comanche regularly charges a few pennies fewer per gallon than the rest. Their price was $1.81.9 yesterday.
PS When prices for oil and gas rise, guess who profits? Besides the oil exporters, that is. American (and British and Dutch) oil companies. The industry that gave us a President and Vice-President.
