While you may be thinking
the gas companies are screwing you all you need to do is check commodity prices
in the Wall Street Journal. They give the wholesale price daily compared
to a year ago. Same for crude oil. Follow it for a while and you will see
exactly how the additive taxes establish part of the price. You will also see
exactly how the wholesale price is ahead of the retail price increases. Gasoline
is still a bargain and about the same as a gallon of milk.

survey
Hey guys, I'm curious about something. It is kinda endurance
related as it has to do with gas for travel...so here goes..
My husband spoke with a trucker that came into his business last week and
he told my husband that he "filled-up" in Nevada and Utah and it cost him
$250.00. Then had to fill up in California and it cost him
$500.00!!!!
Now what I'd like to find out, is, are gas prices higher in California
than in other states? I wanted to take a survey on Ridecamp cause I know
people on this forum are from all over and travel quite a bit. So,
observations, experiences, input?
I think the oil companies are trying to scam us AGAIN! They are
using the excuse of "war" but there is no war yet...seems to me it is another
big excuse to reach into our pockets and I'm really angry.
So how are the prices in other states guys? Any further
thoughts?
Steve Elliot said "the horses are out"..I agree! As long as they
will be safe...Never know with the nit-wits out there on the roads now a days
and the lack of respect.
I'll get off my soapbox now...just wanted everybodys opinion.
