Remember the summer of 2008 , regular unleaded gas…averaging $3.80 plus…everywhere in your town the price was pretty much the same, which threw up a red flag for me personally that this is pure bullshit…the pricing that is.
Fast-forward to spring 2009, prices started to tumble down a bit, then decline a bit more…then F##$%king memeorial day showed up, and you guessed it…prices went back up.
Mid-summer , the prices start to decline again, and decline, and decline, but not quite under two dollars, for regular unleaded.
Here we are today, fall 2009 with gas prices back where we were in 2004 and before that.
Gas Prices have reverted back to BNGP and WNGP..HUH?
Let me explain, I’m in sales, so I do alot of driving, I mean alot of driving(avg 150-160milesper day) all around Atlanta, in a plethora of different social-economic neighborhoods.
I started to notice back in 2002 that gas prices had color too!!! When I’m in a white neighborhood..prices are much lower than they are in their black counterparts’ neighborhoods on the other side of the “Wal-Mart” or starbucks, or whatever term you like.
For instance, just the other day (OCT. 15, 2009)..WNGP(white neighborhood gas price), regular unleaded $2.11/gal, BNGP(black neighborhood gas price) regular unleaded $2.49/gal. The pictures are what it feels like is actually happening with these prices. The whites price on the right, the black price on the left.
Please understand, that I realize the is capitalistic America, which I am all for making as much money as you can handle…and then some…to give away. This is crazy, stupid, in 2009! The folks who need the most help are the ones who foot the the bill for the ones who need it the least.
Same chain of gas stations..same gas…different neighborhood..different price.. I see this on a regular daily basis. NOW that according to the media sources..”Gas prices are falling”, yeah right..only in the white neighborhoods!!!!!!!!!!!you figure it out. Enough said . I’m done. What do you think?
Peace, Love, and Joy,
