GAS PRICES RISING

The common low price in the Twin Cities has been $1.04. But today OPEC announced cutting production.

The price at my local pump rose to $1.19 tonight. Hey, come on! It will be weeks before that new reduced-production stuff will make it out of the refineries. There is no justification in an immediate price hike.

Cheapest here today was .94 at Costco, and I saw no rise on the way home, close to 7pm. Sounds like a little advance gouging to me!

OPEC is cutting output by 6 per cent, which would be about 3 per cent if. My gas price rose by 14 per cent. That is gouging.
