    BP - Gas Prices 'Invigorate' Our Economy- $3.99 in Palm Coast, Florida!

    By Liberty1955  |  Posted February 23, 2013  |  Watertown, New York
     

    BP has a plan to invigorate their economy. It's an additive they add to their gas that gets 'more out of less'. Funny? It's all marketing.
    I saw their sign yesterday, in Palm Coast, Florida. It struck me as funny because of what it says on the bottom about a gas they now have which includes "Invigorate".

    This must be another additive that allows them to justify the high prices they charge to pay off their fine to the Federal Government for 'being stupid' and irresponsible in the Gulf of Mexico.
    The Feds fine them so they fine us? Is there any call for 'Investigation" from Congress for oil companies' seasonal gouging they do every spring and fall to the American Consumers?
    Not a peep from Congress or our President.
    Our 'rubber stamp of corporate interest's' Government is quiet, as usual.
    $4.00 is my breaking point.  Whew! I'm safe for now. It's only $3.99 (and it's not even Memorial Day).

    The highway robbery continues.
