Stupid Republic Quote of the Day re: Gas Prices...
My brother-in-law: "Gas stations should start pumping the gas and washing windshields again, with them charging so much."

He is a good representative for the 29 percenters. Scary, ain't it?

2. gas stations themselves have a very low profit margin on the gas itself
so this rethug doesn't know what the hell he's talking about, as usual.

4. It's actually against the law to pump your own

8. Interesting. In Oregon I believe it's also against the law to pump your own.

7. Gas stations are mostly franchises
To get the gas, the station owners have to be part of the delivery umbrella.

There's really not much money in gas... they use it to draw people in to buy beer and beef jerky.
