if you want we can play this silliness of yours, the one thing you have NOT proven is that that $5 sign was the actual price at the station and you haven't proved any gas was sold for that price.

now if you would please follow me out of your fantasy land for a moment and come back to reality. in the real world, 99.9% of right minded people would drive right by that station and buy their gas for the $3.79 or so within a mile. OK, you can go back to your pretend world.

Again, why need a heat map when the prices are listed right here - same link as you used I think. So what if there are some stations @ $4/gal? Prices have reached $5/gal, not just in DC, but in other states too.

YOU said there was a dollar difference between the highest price and the next highest, clearly that is NOT TRUE, as the prices show.

Proven false.

$.50 difference in regular grade, $.40 difference in premium. And premium is way above $4/gal in regular grade.

Yeah, I guess we can't take the word of the news outlet that took the picture OR the DC gas price list that has been posted numerous times that actually LISTS it.

Yeah, I'm sure they just put that price up there to chase away customers.

I don't need to prove any more than has actually been documented and proven - $5/gal gas in DC, per the pic, per the list. Live with it.

Haha, well I'm sure NO ONE purchased any gas at that price and it must be an anomaly.

i really gotta laugh now, you use the same, "well I'm sure NO ONE purchased any gas at that price and it must be an anomaly" in reply to a photo of a higher Bush gas price... you understand more are on the way. I recall one over $6 during Katrina.... might be time for you to cut and run.

i guess you are too busy pounding on the keys to read, go back to 179, "FYI, ANYONE can post up a sign with a price on it, that doesn't mean they actually sell any gas. I know a mechanic with pumps that are just an annoyance to him and he keeps the price higher because he makes his money on repairs and he doesn't make money on the gas."

Shell - 598 Bryant St - San Francisco, CA - San Francisco Gas Prices

Give it time, labor day is coming and gas prices always spike up around that time.

Record car repos
Record food prices




Take away our money, guns, power, rights and voice and he and his minions will have total control of you and your life.

Lets just take this apart.

record foreclosures - Sorry Bush owns this
record bankruptcies - same, please prove otherwise
record deaths in afgan - i'll give you that one but still not even close to those in Iraq which Bush still holds.

record terrorist attacks - prove it, Bush still holds the record for most deaths and destruction on our soil.

record gas prices - not even close, ave. was higher in 2008 than today and the highest was under Bush as my previous post proved.

record car repos - once again prove it
record food prices - you do realise inflation sets the food prices and the price of food goes up every year no matter who is in charge.

And once again, Obama has not taken away any of your guns, power, rights, or voice. If i am wrong, show me a link that proves it.
