Current Fuel Prices....
We've all heard the stories lately for the reason for the increase in fuel prices. I wish they (ALL) would treat us like the adults we are and be HONEST with us.
Just wanted to get a feel for price gouging in YOUR area.
Comments, though are welcome, since their may be many, keep it short and sweet please...

I filled up yesterday and diesel was $1.49 in Kansas City. The annoying thing is the station I go to only lets you put $35.00 in if you pay credit at the pump. This means that if the price is higher, your not even filling up your tank. I go there because it's about a block from work.

I filled up yesterday, in Cordova, TN for 1.44.9 - the range around here, for diesel is 1.44.9 - 1.52.9 Flying J over in West Memphis, Ar is 1.39.9. Gas is a lot higher - My wife is paying 1.79.9 for her car.
I like it when diesel is a lower price - often round here it is higher.

Diesel here is $1.629, 87 gas is $1.76-1.799. Has the price of crude jumped in the past few weeks? All I've heard is this is due to a pipeline break out West (which I would think should make gas CHEAPER in the East, right?), and the recent blackout. A 7-hour blackout causes the price of gas to jump 20 cents? Did the price of gas jump right after the '65 blackout? How stupid do they think we are?

$1.80 for regular. I'm not an oil company apologist and I'm not lobbying for higher prices but I don't think gas is unreasonably priced. I mean, in 1960 we were paying 30 cents a gallon and a $10,000 wage would get a person in the bottom rung of the middle class. Now, I would think a salary of $70K or so would land you at about the same spot. If gas went up at the same rate we would be paying $2.10 or so. Hardly an empirical argument but I think it is more or less accurate.

The local Arco down the street has jumped a penny a day, sometimes twice a day for the past 3 weeks. Currently he is at $1.91, and that is cheap around here for regular.
I just filled my car up(something like 22g) and it cost me over $40 this morning. yeow. I used to complain when my F250 cost that much to fill(38gallons), not that long ago.
I find it suspicious that the price goes up every day, especially around summer holidays. The excuse we hear around here(Oregon) is that some refineries went off line or Iraq. A friend in Pennsylvania said the excuse they get is the power black out, huh?
