Speak Out 11/6/11

Crazy prices

Talk about the craziness of fuel prices in our community. Now, mind you, this is Friday, but today I saw fuel prices at a truck stop out on M Hwy. and the 67 Junction at $3.39 a gallon. That's right! And, yet, I saw fuel prices all the way in town at $3.09 a gallon. What's going on, Poplar Bluff? Have we all gone crazy? What's going on here in our community? Has the green button just lost its context? What's going on here in our town? Or has the fuel distributors just lost contact with one another? Can they not talk between one another and get their fuel prices the same all across the board anymore? Or are they getting rattled because as the community is getting fed up with their pricing? Maybe it's that. Do you think? Maybe it's just the fact that there are some that are willing to speak out about the outright greed with pricing on fuel in our community. But seeing that aberration pop up at one dealership and then this wild 30 cents a gallon at others in our town speaks volumes for the fuel pricing in our community, doesn't it? Something to think on, Poplar Bluff. Truly something to think on, isn't it? Need to get your heads together, fuel distributors. Either jack your fuel prices up all at the same time or drop them all at the same time. You think? The people of Poplar Bluff are watchin' ya! We see oil prices dropping like a rock and you're not doing the same, are you?
