    I just paid $3.65/gal for Sunoco Premium (93 oct) in Philadelphia, PA, which ranges up to about 3.80 or so at various places around here.

    Charlie, where are you located? I see Constantine, but where is that?

    Unfortunately between the politicians and their lap dogs in the media the real story gets disguised. If folks want to know why this will continue to be an issue they need to do some digging on their own (which is highly unlikely). Bingoogle "U.S. refinery capacity" or similar. We are now down to less capacity at full, uninterrupted production than what we consume. Any hiccup, or routine maintenance shut down, at a refinery and the supply stream shrinks. Price is a control mechanism. As consumers who've blithe-fully ignored reality while an over active "environmental" gang and meddling bureaucrats have hobbled a vital industry we get to pay the piper now and into the foreseeable future. Decisions have consequences.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    wonder what the percentage of tax on a gallon is these days - - - -seems like it used to be around $0.50 but I could be wrong - - - - wonder what the tax on the corn farmer is on this ingredient for the artificial gas were forced to burn?
