$2.86 in Sacramento this morning.
I usually don't pay attention, and I don't usually buy regular, but I filled and returned a rental car so I had the receipt on me.
Or hydrogen production linked to a nuclear plant. Nuclear in either scenario, yours or mine. If the people demand it, the government will eventually cave and allow it to happen. But right now, not enough people are clamoring for it.
Right, so blame your fellow citizens and the government. Not some oil traders or big oil companies or anyone else.
I happen to think that the internal combustion engine is NOT the future. So now you can post a crystal ball picture for me.
The real price problem for America right now isn't energy, it's health care. The nation is aging, people demand new techniques and medications and the government has screwed the citizenry royally by interfering on every level. It's a matter of life and death as well as financial. But that for a different thread.
still at approx 2.80 here in Denver. They say it's due to a deisel shortage in the West- they're using a lot of capacity to bring in more deisel, causing a relative shortage of gasoline
A week or two ago, Cedar Rapids had that distinction for a couple days. Then, Des Moines. This week, it's Osky again.:)

Someone had posted $1.97 in Oskaloosa earlier today but, for some reason, that listing has been removed.
point well taken.
What is different is that 6 months ago was March. March is the beginning of the price hikes that occur each year as refineries begin to make the boutique gasoline and stores begin to build in anticipation of the high demand spring and summer driving season.
Taxes are a part of the equation used to determine what a station sells a gallon of gasoline for. Overhead is a big factor. Things such as R.E. taxes, salaries, utilities etc all play a part.
Most of South Jersey has prices in the $2.20's.
Hydrogen barely makes sense for cars in science fiction!
What we need is a way to make gasoline on the Texas coast with nuclear power.
You got all the Hydrogen you need in the Gulf of Mexico, and you got all the carbon you need in cow$hit and cedar trees in the rest of Texas.
Should be able to power the world off that. All you gotta do is assemble all those octane and heptane molecules.
Hell, I can do it! Gimme some tinkertoyz and a 12-pak.
"Doesn't exactly make for a good Democratic political ad."
It does, actually. You know (of course) that we went to war in Iraq for oil. If the prices went down right away, it would have been too obvious. Since Bush is in bed with big oil, he had them wait a bit before they started lowering prices to keep suspicion to a mimimum. Perfect logic according to the DNC!
I'm surprised they find room for all those gas stations in Jersey, seeing as there's highway on and off ramps every fifty feet!
indcons Post 101:Pray - why don't you educate us simple folk? How do you explain a difference of close to a dollar (in prices of regular) between some states?
tfecwGoogle is always good resource, or you can search the thousands of threads regarding this matter that are on FR.
Indcons asked YOU to explain the difference. You could at least do him the courtesy of a response. Sending him off to look up reasons on google or FR is not an answer to the question; it does not tell him what YOU think the reasons are
"You guys emit a loud grudge for oil execs and their evil children."
Not really. But the prices recently prostituted doesn't make friends with middle-america. You disagree?
That's where they put them.
I vowed I'd never go back to Osky...even for $1.99 gas!
2.06 in Ohio.
I saw the headline and thought of you!!
YOu have been MIA!
