hello all

I took a drive tonight for a little fun and saw this sign at a Conoco just about a mile from my house. Don't think I need to say anything more.

... one of the few honest ones around...



He's NOT saying "fuel is priced properly if we allow for inflation"

He's NOT saying "increased costs of transportation, exploration and processing have increased prices beyond our control"

He's NOT saying "Americans are spoiled, and SHOULD be paying more, just like Europeans!"

He's NOT saying "Oil companies are the living example of Capitalism at it's best, and we are ENTITLED to obscene profits"

He's NOT saying "fuel is actually CHEAP if you compare it to a gallon of bottled water - or your favorite whiskey" (or some OTHER equally idiotic comparison)



NOPE, he's telling it like it REALLY is!



He probably won't be a Conoco station owner very much longer... :-laf
