Thanksgiving travel

Where are you getting your information, I was out of town last week and as I returned I noticed gas prices in Illinois jumped $.40 as I crossed the state line. I arrived home last Friday and gas around town was $3.39 and since then has jumped another $.20. Your video on your newscast even showed the gas price at $3.49 when it was $3.59 almost everywhere earlier today. Do your viewers a favor and do an expose on the price fixing gas stations are doing in Champaign. For instance, the $.20 jump this week just before Thanksgiving when a great many people will be gassing up to leave town to visit relatives. Or how the price of gas consistently goes up $.20 overnight on Thursday before a home Illini game and then comes down on Monday after everyone leaves town. On a National level, how the price of gas jumps $.20 at the pump when the price of a barrel of oil goes up $.01, yet takes 2 weeks to come down if it goes down $.01. Note: a former Vice President of a big oil company was quoted last year saying that he didn't understand it as it takes 6-8 weeks for the crude oil to be processed and arrive at the pump as gasoline. Of course he was fired the next day. Do everyone a favor and do some investigative reporting on these issues.
