Fuel Prices

Just curious of what comparables are in different areas for fuel.

We're paying $2.96 for gas and $3.26 for diesel, rounded up.

Diesel fuel jumped $.30 over last weekend here in Northeast MS. now around $3.17 a gallon.

I topped of my fuel tank this morning in preparation for a Thursday afternoon tow to the weekend contest site. That half a tank cost $52.00

Outside of pure greed on the oil producers/distributors I can't comprehend the recent spike in prices.

$2.97 at the Citgo Evil or Very Mad

, but I won't support Chavez, everywhere else $3.09 to $3.15 in the Burbs, Diesel is $3.49.

They say it's because of turn around and bringing the winter blends into line and taking the smog reducing summer blend out. I cry BS!!, as stated before sounds like corporate greed.

Wow...we are at 3.29 for regular and about 3.49 for diesel near LA, CA. It's been back and forth between 20 cents for about a month now...go up...go down...go up....go down. Stop playing with my emotions!

It's right about $2.99/gal. of regular unleaded here.

It's greed alright but not corporate greed. We have not built a new refinery since the 70's. Our population has increased, our gasoiline usage has increased, the number of blends mandated by each State has increased but our ability to refine oil into gasoline has not increased. One of the oil companies (I don't remember which) proposed building a new rifinery near Beaumont Texas but the same old groups stopped them in the courts.

The next target is electricity. TXU had plans to build a number of power plants to handle power generation for our growing population. These same groups stepped in and with the help of an investors group cut the number of plants by 2/3. 10 years from now, your electricity bill could easily be bigger than you mortgage but the brown outs and black outs should help you cut back on yoiur usage.

Who is responsible? Your friendly everyday Green Group. The theory is that if you make something terribly expensive then you'll use less of it. It works if you have a static or shrinking population but it doesn't work with a growing population. Short of a plague our population is going to continue to grow.

It's market economics.

Edited to add: The people affected most by this will be the poor & elderly.
