WTF so that's what it is. I thought I was losing it: ~$.23 higher at my regular station literally overnight...maybe even over the course of the day. Cripes.

Gas prices are one of the many things in life that bitching about it doesn't help.

Meh, what can you do?

expand drilling and refining capacity so we don't have to import as much, or export oil to refine, then import said refined oil.

build nuclear plants for electricity (FUCK WIND).

I agree. I used to complain about gas prices quite a bit as I own a jeep that gets 12mpg city, but then I realized that no matter how much I complain, I'm going to keep buying gas.

Wow I want to live where you live.

Mine is around that too. I paid 2.45 just a few days ago. We have like the lowest tax in the country, which keeps the rednecks happy. I do need some for the weekend, so I'll buy some tonight.

WTF

Why a dollar less in the south?

What is this discrimination?

They need money for cigs down there?

Just filled up for $3.39 per gallon on the way in this AM. As to what I think I think it is not very farsighted to concentrate such a large percentage of our oil refining and distribution in one area and this is our 2nd demonstration of that vulnerability and price rises are a reflection of that reality.

It's not, he was somehow wrong.
(He lied, i.e. misspoke/mistyped more than once in a row.)

He probably just had a brain fart and used a 2 instead of a 3, I assumed that and moved on.

Prices are down here. $3.61 when I drove in to work this morning. Wife called and I asked her- she confirmed $3.59 now. Glad I'm not in a gulf coast state!

I'll be driving tomorrow morning for the first time in a week and I'll see what the prices are like in the Boston area.
