ops3 Champion Author Cincinnati Posts:1,229 Points:737,025 Joined:Dec 2007	Message Posted: May 29, 2010 1:17:47 AM Ignore ops3 Report Abuse Cheaper gas in the week leading up to the holiday; but a new trick from the oil companies; they are going to get you on the way back. spotty and sporadic increases in just the last few hours reveal an attempt to raise profits in a weak market! Another observation unusual for price increases; Greedway does not appear to be leading the way with a gigantic hike; but, that may still change before the weekend is over!
