God help us if a Hurricane comes into the Gulf of Mexico!!!!!!!!!!!  $10.00 a gallon before summers end!!

[TheVgirl]

I was stunned at it being over .20 cents cheaper in SC than where I'm at in Georgia.  I bought high-octane for $3.83 a gallon.  It's $4.11 here for 93 octane.

I decided to think of gas prices as a diet program.  I pay so much for gas that I can't afford to eat out anymore.  That's a good thing considering we hit too many fast food restaurants!

   V, I think the difference is the state tax difference.  I've noticed it also as you travel across states.......it'll drop and rise as you cross the borders.  aaaargh.  spyder

Sanity is both highly overrated and somewhat boring.

I never suffered from sanity (maybe temporarily but it passed) , but that is what I have heard.

Fed Gas Tax is 18 cent a Gallon, The states add additional 18 - 60 cents- per gallon- Also Some local counties and Cities add additional Cents per gallon so that is way the price will vary From State to state (within the state) and your big Cities.

If there was no Money to be made then the gas supply would dry completely UP. Like it did in 1973 and 1979. The price of fuel was Fixed (Regulated by the Fed's) for those years, SO NO money was to made so we ran out of FUEL

BTDT.

Nuts here in NC - when we were moving here last year, the price jumped .30 when you crossed from VA into NC.  My property taxes are insane here also, and we get compensated less in NC then I did living in VA, so we took a huge quality of life cut moving here.

Can't believe I am saying this, but I am looking forward to moving back to VA.

While traveling to Tampa today I saw 93 octane as high as $4.49...Diesel as high as $4.93!

On Monday I believe Oil traded at $128.00 a barrel. Today at around $122.00 a barrel. Gas prices here in Alabama have risen $.08 a gallon in the same time frame? I never claimed to be the sharpest tool in the shed; so, someone with more intelligence than I of this issue please help. Is it summer demand, less oil allowed to market, higher demand around the world (China and India), other, all the above, or no friggin use in trying to figure it out without blowing a gasket? :'(This crap is really beginning to piss me off breathe slowly...let the friggin chi flow...breathe....breathe

There is a lag between oil per barrel price & refinery processing inventories.  Oil is not processed instantly, & prices do not go up/down until inventories are re-priced.All of the above - summer higher demand, OPEC & others cutting production, other countries (China/India/Russia, etc.), & lateley SPECULATORS have driven the price up.

And I listen to fruitcakes in Congress that say drilling more so we can process more is not the answer.  Well duh, but it would create more supply, which inevitably affects pricing.

On a brighter note, South Dakota approved a new refinery.  First new one is over 30 years.  And guess who is suing & opposing it?  SOS, but maybe this time it will get built.

While I am ranting, if we had explored/drilled refined 10 years ago, it would not be a "10 year wait" - the favorite mantra of the current crop of anti-capitalists who oppose ALL of the above, ALL the time.  Mainly because of their Global Warming Religion & Marxism.

I thought that was a main dish!! Not to  but if history is any indication a "10 yr" wait may be very optimistic. Until the electorate "gets it" there will be no improvement in our system of checks and balances. There are many in positions of power who have, so far, benefited greatly by the current state of our economy.
