Here in Northern Ontario it is $1.30/litre which is (if my conversion is correct) $4.90/gallon. Makes me want to drive the sportsman to work rather than the Silverado

i think the last time i bought gas it was around 3.69 or darn close to it... here in S.W. NY just a little north of bradford for you fellas in N.W. PA
it sucks so bad buying fuel i just try not to look at the price and i live on a reservaion... we used to get cheap gas, smokes, and had dice runs

Looks like a few places are hangin under the 3.50 mark in the Dallas area. 3.44 buy my house.

Got a coupon for 10¢ per gallon discount for gas at Krogers when I went grocery shopping the other night. Figures, cause none of them around here sell gas.

We're paying about $3.50/gallon. I use a Hess credit card. They give a 5% discount if you use their credit card. At $3.50/gallon that is a .17 discount. It helps a little. The whole problem is supply and demand. Crude oil is in short supply worldwide, so the price on the futures markets is high for a per barrel cost. If we don't increase the supply of crude oil and build more refineries we will never keep up and the price will continue to rise. The US has vast untapped sources of crude in the Gulf of Mexico and under ANWAR, an area of frozen tundra in Northern Alaska. While our politicians sit on their hands and whine about oil companies (who make about .10 per gallon profit. Record number of gallons sold=record profits) they don't let them get at the vast resources we have or build more refineries. It's time we drill for our own supplies and rebuild refineries that were closed and new ones as needed. Just my .02 worth. We have two liberal senators here in Massachusetts who say we need to work on alternative energy sources, but are fighting the people who want to build a wind farm off the coast of Cape Cod, Mass. They talk out of 2 sides of their faces and don't accomplish anything. I say, go for both. Drill for oil and build solar and wind farms.

Out here in the middle of Eastern Oregon we just hit 3.79/gal and they pump it. I have a similar deal to yours Moose with a Shell card.
As far as the prices, the biggest issue is no Refineries have been built in almost 30yrs. in fact a couple have closed. The companies get more efficient at making the stuff, you get more than a gal of gas from a gal of oil, but the demand is huge...

And now we have the newest Cash Cow out there, Making Grains into Vehicle Fuel. That is going to affect everything from our meats to our foods a lot more than the actual shipping costs. Just one example, High Fructose Corn Syrup. Nearly everything has it. Remove the Corn source and now they need something else, usually more expensive like Sugar. and the cycle just keeps spiraling...

Oh well enough for my soapbox.

Oh btw, our Gas is trucked here from at least 250 miles away for this little 5000 sq mile county of all 9000 residents. So that also adds to our cost. It is too high, but in comparison to bigger cities we are very comparable these days.

here idaho falls, I am paying 3.53 a gallon. I am not sure the oil companies have enough incentive to drill, they are making to much money the way things are now. the country may go to down, but as long as the oil companies feel they are making a good profit everything is fine.

No one was crying for the oil companies when oil was 10 or 20 bucks barrel and they were in serious financial peril and were forced to consolidate to survive. Now they're recouping their massive investments in infrastructure and exploration by selling gasoline at market prices, prices they do not set by the way, and suddenly they're the bad guys.

wait a minute guys. i just asked about how high the gas prices are, not how bad were all getting ripped off. thats another whole story. just my curiousty, dont mean to be stirring up bad stuff.

There you go, Stendori; you stir up a hornet's nest and shrug your shoulders and say, "who me?" When it gets down to it, it is a combination of supply and demand, oil companies, and our lawmakers. It will probably be a very long time before they all get their acts together and address the supply and demand problems. China and India are becoming very large consumers and the oil companies aren't keeping up with the greater demand.
