But look at the wholesale pricing. It's at 2.01 a gallon last time I checked. We should be seeing prices RIGHT NOW at about $2.20 at the pump, but aparrently it's ok to jack prices by over a buck in three days and then take your dear sweet time releasing it back down and just gouging us all the way.
