"So far, Georgia is the sole state in the nation to remove its taxes on gasoline, an effort to ease the pain for drivers.
The world's cheapest gasoline can be found in Venezuela, where a gallon costs 12 cents; the most expensive is in the Netherlands, where a gallon costs $6.48."
Every year after Labor Day weekend like clockwork you can bet the prices will start to fall.

Highest I saw was $3.24 here in southern metro Kansas City. It's @ $2.73 last I checked.

I moved out of Georgia too soon.

It's amazing how gas prices surged in California, when all that is ever said is how California is different from the rest of the country because it demands special blends. I guess linkage only occurs on the way up.

Every year after Labor Day weekend like clockwork you can bet the prices will start to fall. Every year you can hear someone repeat this without it ever being true.

Sorry, I said the lowest in my area is 2.55. That station changed it to 2.45.
In my area you can buy gas for 2.45 and drive down the road and pay 2.75 then drive to the next city 10 miles and pay 2.85 then drive down the street in that city and pay 2.95.
2.39 before Katrina. 3.25 at Katrina. 2.45 a week after Katrina. Must be Labor Day. Or the gas companies gouged and got caught.

It was supply and demand, right??? High demand, shortage of oil???
Or was it speculators and oil companies making a kaboodle of money???

I just topped off at $2.65/gal - in Atlanta, home of the Katrina-induced price spike.
To: cynicom

There isn't a hedge fund in america that isn't playing with Oil Futures right now.. the damn thing is a bubble beyond belief. Fundamentals don't remotely justify retail gas prices above $1.50ish and reality should be even lower than that.

Yes it's true, esp. on major roads. Around here in the village, the gas sale stations are selling 2.97 and Valero and Sunoco are selling about ten cents cheaper.

Doesn't matter. I'm sticking to the motorcycle. I want to reduce my personal demand. Time to get serious about saving gas and making that demand elastic go limp. I encourage others to do so as well, but you won't find me kvetching about people that aren't in a position to do so.
