The economy must be getting better!
Have you noticed that each time a good jobs report is released that gas prices skyrocket? People on the west coast are being skewered by 12 cent leaps each evening as retailers are adjusting prices with each new delivery. Some stations are now offering gasoline above $5. Some stations are closing.
As stated in an LA Times article, “Economists warn that a prolonged period of elevated gas costs could harm consumers as the holiday shopping season kicks in.”
No kidding. Isn’t that the plan?
It’s quite the coincidence that this happens every time. Is there a graph somewhere comparing gas prices to economy reports?
