They are doing a fine job of raising the gas price here. Seems like it goes up at least.10 cents every time I look at it.Guess this will be another excuse to raise gas prices....
Gas has gone up over .50 cents in the last 3 weeks. It's over $3.10 a gallon now. No reason for it. What's even worse is the Feds want to raise the gas tax another .25 - .50 a gallon. Unbelievable.
Yes, but it takes me 12 hours to drive from Georgia to my daughter's house in Virginia. You can go from Liverpool on the West coast of England to Scarborough on the East coast in less than three hours. Even driving from one extreme end of England to another (Penzance to Marshall Meadows) is three hours faster than going to visit my daughter.its over $8.50 in the UK

Ok you win, we have no reason to gripe! Ouch!its over $8.50 in the UK
I have a reason to gripe. I've been involved in the oil and gas industry for many years and know what it takes to produce a barrel of oil and refine a gallon of gas or diesel. For example, we had a cracking plant in one of the fields I worked at and it cost .12 cents to make a gallon of diesel. Now figure in government taxes, excessive government regulations, environmental costs, etc, etc and the retail cost at the pump is sky high.Ok you win, we have no reason to gripe! Ouch!
It's always made me kinda pissy that diesel was higher priced than Premium at times, and it's only basically one grade above kerosene it seems. I guess it's cause they refine less of it on a regular basis than the other vehicle fuels?
I’ve read that the cost of making gas is pretty much the same everywhere. Like you said state, federal and local taxes is why you see different pricing all over the place. Too many groups with their hand in the pie.I have a reason to gripe.

I'm not really concerned about the cost of fuel in other countries, much of which is taxes.
