Cost of gas is higher in areas that are furthest away from refineries. The cost of fuel in Alaska near the pipeline is almost $5.00 a gallon (they pipe it there but don't refine) The cost in areas like Toledo where there's a BP, Marathon and Sun oil refinery within 50 miles its 3.79 today. The cost in resort areas in upper Michigan is also high. Hawaii is another example of a remote area with no refineries and high prices. Missouri has some of the lowest prices - I don't know why. The oil companies could make it all the same price everywhere, and still rape the consumer.

Thieving rat bastards

a guy i work with was mocking the whole, hey were gonna drill offshore. after his rant he suggested we actually pull a rig out offshore and see how much lower it goes...

some of this is also tied to the dollar.

$4.289/gal on I-90 in New York over the weekend. I'm glad I had enough fuel to make it back into Ohio to get it for $3.599.

Still cheaper than Canada. With the currency exchange, it was $4.78/gal up there.

What form of dance? Modern, Jazz, hip hop, or was it some tribal dance dedicated to the oil god - Tobeatusup? I was happy last week when Kroger gas with the discount went to $3.35. I did the little dance too. :biggrin:
