I thought that of all places my favorite rock climbing discussion forum would have a thread dedicated to this.

$6.29 on Coronado Island. If you have to look at the sign you should not be on the island.

The one guy that could care less about gas prices. Haha!
3.64 in Boise, But that's the Flying J, not Circle K. I don't think we have Circle K's up here.

Cosmic, you did it again. Too funny!
$4.69 at an ARCO in Woodland HIlls, CA
There's nothing we can do about the gas prices.. we're being held hostage again!
They have us all by our whatsies. .
The last gas rationing we had was a fluke. They had it but gouged us for all they could get by with.
So bend over ...here it comes and you don't even get a kiss.

Actually we are being hosed by Huge capitol investment firms and an under-regulated commodities market.
About 1/2 to 1/3 of the cost of gasoline today is due to inflationary investment instead of actual cost of production and the standard market factors of supply and demand.
Notice what happened when the markets crashed 4 years ago.
Oh and for Califonia/Northern Nevada there are apparently several refinery and pipeline issue producing a huge spike in price due to reduced supply and speculation.

One benefit of being self employed is that you raise your rates as your essentials go up in cost.
Never gouge, just keep up with inflation on an annual basis.

Unleaded in France is going for around $9/gal. Diesel is only slightly less.
Perhaps the lack of outcry from Europe is due to an efficient transportation infrastructure.

$4.33 a gallon in Soldotna, Alaska. It has gone up 20 cents this week and we are not affected by the lack of California gasoline.

Best info I can get on France gas tax is $4.23/gallon. That is from 2010 and does not include eurozone taxes.
USA federal tax for 2010 was $.39
The cost of Gas in the USA without taxes or speculative inflation in the should be under $2.00.
Remember when the markets crashed in 2008 Gas came down to about 1.70 a gallon. Some of that (a very small part) was due to reduced demand the rest due to crashed market speculation.
We are getting ripped by wall street so many ways it's pathetic..
Makes a great train robbery look like a 5 year old pocketing a kids toy.

hey there say, all....
ohmy, you knowwwwwwwwwww, i do not even KNOW what the gas prices are here... :O
i just go to the nearest one, as they are about the same, so everyone says here...
i put in my 3-4 bucks worths, depending... however, on rare occasions i DO put in 5 bucks, :) and then--it seems i usually have about an 8th of a tank, though sometimes when i can put gas in before i am near empty, i DO
have a neat full 1/4 tank... >:D<
i only need to drive a few blocks, as i really don't have many spots to go to... (the grandkids have to come here on their folks rides) :)
so i do okay--however, the ex son in law, and those in 'the know' did say that in winter that is not good for the car, and i should have at least a
half a tank, so i may be thinking on doing that this year, :)
:)
good thing my old block to walk patty ann marie in, and the grocery (with mail service), dollar store, and home depot, and walgreens, and--gas station, :)) are all veryyyyyyyyyyyyy close indeed, :)

what.. no theories? Have you Noticed! the gas prices went up the night of the debates? Remember the Bush election? gas prices skyrocketed then too just before big media events trashing the dems. we're just the masses being manipulated.
