Assume the position

Well folks, the government & pundits “predicted” we would have $4 buck-a-gallon gas by summer & they are making good on the promise. I watched every grade of fuel soar near or above the $4 mark in mid May in Oregon.
I’ve been watching this local gas station sign prices go up & up all week… How ’bout that $3.99.9 pricing?
Check out the subtle tape line on the #3– they took a #8 & made it a 3. I’m sure they are just being more efficient as it may well be $8 bucks a gallon sometime soon. As a boon to the economy, the people who manufacture the numbers they put up manually on gas price signs, have a a run of orders for the number *4*. Last year it was the number *3*, and some industrious folks with foresight are already busy making *5’s*. As some kind of abstract art statement, above the sign in the distance is a green traffic light ~ that would be a go for record profits for big oil.
