I noted something new last week while on a trip to Virginia and that was that gas stations there are now selling gas by octane rating. Whereas most places you see unleaded, mid grade, and premium..these folks have prices posted based on octane level you buy such as 87, 89, 93, and 97....all in all they have 5 prices as opposed to 3 that most states have to select from.
Exxon-Mobil is considered the leader in the gas industry much like American and United Airlines are in that industry. When they go up, make changes the others like little zombies follow suit hence the poll question against Exxon-Mobile...One thing for sure, there is very little people in this country ever stick together on to acheive needed results. If we would look at other races of people and how they stick together they have power to effect change but we as a people are far to soft and have the mental attitiude of let someone else do it or its not my problem or worse yet..what could I do; I'm only one person...oh well, we roll on and complain all the more
