GAS PRICES!

[mkm]

$ 3.39 or so here.

Honestly, I hardly look anymore.  I've got to get from point A to point B and that requires gass.  I cut back driving when I can, but I've got to do what I've got to do.

3.68 gal for Reg here

Guys you are really making me not feel sorry for you.
Price here at the bowser as of today for 91 octane is 1.50 per Litre. Now for the carry the one minus the arab and cross my dot conversion it means that 1 US gallon is equiv to 3.78 litres. (3.78 x 1.50 = 5.67) or $5.67 per gallon. Given at this very moment the US dollar has rebounded slightly and is now worth about 1.012 to the aussie dollar that means our Gas per gallon is $5.74 US per gallon.

hey sledge, how much of that price is the "tax"?

Last I checked, Fed taxes here are .57-.60 cents per gallon.

than there are state taxes which vary, like California.

The kicker is, there are oil deposits in this hemisphere, and the U.S, that rival the Mid East. All BHO has to do to lower the neurotic nature of the speculators and commodities mkts, is lift ALL moratoriums, and turn the folks loose to go get it.

If gas hits $5.00+/- here in the states, (which is what BHO wants), should make his re-election impossible. But he's a sly bastard. The Strategic Oil Reserves are 727,000,000 barrels. The U.S. averages 20,000,000 barrels a day.

(carry the one, subtract the rotation of the Earth, add a sunny day,.........about 34-36 days) than were dried up. We shouldn't even consider tapping any of it.

Libya is 2% of total Mideast exports. But the speculators and futures market are weak kneed, hyperventilating, greedy bastards.

The fix was in long before Libya happened.....

federal taxs are 18 cents at the pump.  in ca there is also a 17 cent tax.

its the futures and options market that is driving up the price.  supply and demand has some roll to play, but not much.

38.1 cents per litre excise tax per litre + 10% GST

so 38.1 x 3.7 for your tax per gallon equivalent not including the GST component

$3.39 to $3.49 here in NE Ohio.  Funny thing is, that is the range within 1/8 mile!  Doesn't normally happen that way.  Usually when one sets the price they all follow within 1 mile radius.
