Dude, you might as well say that the hamburger prices at ski resorts represent what McDonalds charges.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Unfortunately for Dave I'm unbanned now and live close enough to him that I can easily look into and call BS on his daily wild statements.

You guys still insisting I drive 20 miles (over 40 round trip) just to get gas at Wally World.

Unbelievable but expected from you.

Shiner, come here and try to find a station anywhere within 10 miles of here for less than $2.84, door is always open.

I thought it was $2.99 near you Dave.

Most are around $2.99 in the immediate vicinity of my house.

I'm not insisting you do anything.

I just find it funny that you choose to live in a failry rural area and then bitch about the fact that you don't have the same choices as people in a large city due and have to pay a bit of a premium for gasoline.

Even then I don't think it is that high up there. Like I said....I drove through that area on my way home Friday and the gas prices I saw were in the $2.50 to $2.60 range except for on the turnpike where it was $2.76

You could always move to Tulsa. I topped off my tank this morning 2 blocks from the house I'm living in while the new house is being built and it was $2.62

Actually you are insisting quite a bit.

I live closer to the Refinery Headquarters than you do so there goes your "big city" argument.

That anyone that lives outside cities are second class citizens and should be punished for being so and that country folks subsidize city folks because the gas trucks drive right by the country folks to deliver the gasoline. We must have to pay a premium for that drive by service.

You didn't drive anywhere around here and see "$2.50 to $2.60" range.

Never dropped below $2.79 all summer here and most back to $2.99 now.

You might want to actualyl read my posts.....

As I pointed out earlier you don't live anywhere near a refinery headquarters. Conoco Phillips is HQ'd in Houston and their Oklahoma refinery is in Ponca City....which is on the other side of the state from where you live.

You aren't second class and aren't being punished for jack shit. You are living in an area where there are less choices due to a lower population. If you had any understanding of economics at all you would see that the slightly higher prices are due to that fact. Nothing else.

Yes I did.

BS.

Post pics of the gas stations around me in the "$2.50 to $2.60" range.

You can't because they don't exist.

I can't because I'm not up there right now. You know...that whole "had to come to work today" thing.

Had I known this thread was going to pop up I would have taken the time to shoot a couple of pictures on my way though.

This thread has been around since your heroes have started gouging America with both prices and the false war.

Next time you're off from work and will be up here stop by for BBQ & Beer on the deck and we'll snap some pics of the stations within 10 miles of here supposedly at $2.50 - $2.60.

I have only recently made my return her Dave....you know that. Besides my life doesn't revolve around you and your crazy conspiracies.

From now on I guess I'll have to start carrying a camera with me at all times just so I can prove you wrong.

Can't be, Shiner says that's bullshit
No, I said what you are saying is BS.

Gas in Oklahoma is not $2.89 everywhere. It may be that high where you are....but again...you live in a rural area with less choices and less competition....you know.....basic economics.

Plenty of gasoline after all the Refinery bullcrap.

Refinery utililzation is down around 90% and no gas stations out of gas.

Of course have to raise prices for the Labor Day Holiday Weekend.

Should be illegal and criminal.

Gas this morning was $2.73 for premium at the Shell station by my house. And I never go to that station because they're the most expensive one on the block.

I know you live in Utopia.

Couple things.

$2.48 is cheap now?

Have not seen $2.48 in ages here.

Never dropped below $2.79 here all summer and now at @$2.99 at many stations again.

I live in one of the richest counties in the east coast, in the suburban Washington DC area. If its cheap here, that's saying something.
