We fueled up my wife's Jetta diesel in St Louis a week ago. It was $2.14-9

We fueled up four days later here outside of Boise. It was $299-9.

Figure that one out...

We just returned to Arkansas after spending the last month and a half traveling to Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho,(with side trip to Oregon and back) Montana, to California (via Nevada), Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.

We paid as high as $3.62 for regular gas in California, and saw it selling for $4.99 ($5.49 for premium) at the last station before Needles, Ca.

Yesterday I paid $2.07 at Walmart in Texarkana, Ark.

It's unreal the variation in fuel prices across the country.

One of the biggest reasons for the wide difference in prices is taxes. Some areas have low state, county, and municipal gasoline taxes. Others have high state, county, and municipal taxes.

Look here for the state rates: http://www.gasbuddy.com/Data/USTaxInfo but remember county and municipal taxes are added in most areas.

Oil is at a record low, yet gas is at an all time high. Go figure. Gotta love the convoluted reasoning for that. Confused

Gas is $0.05 per gallon in Venezuela. If they raise the price of beer in Venezuela, no one gives a shit. If they tried to raise the price of gas from $.05 to $.07 a gallon, Caracas would be on fire and you would have 500 people killed in riots.

Refinery in Indiana was down for awhile, I guess they were back on at noon today. Should help gas prices and hurt corn price.

In Tucson, gasoline prices apparently are based on demographics of the immediate vicinity. When we drive to the airport, we pass six Circle K markets, and each has a different price posted for its gas. The best buys are in low-income areas.

That's strange 'cause they usually get robbed the most. Or burned.

That's the trade-off for your state not having any income tax.

Yes, but remember what happened in 1973? I was working as a gas jockey at a Mobil station in Los Angeles that year. Gas suddenly became scarce and we had to limit purchasers first to 10 gallons and then to 5 gallons per customer per day. Long lines formed and went for blocks. It got so bad that we would run out of fuel early in the day. When that happened we had to close because people would line up anyway and get angry when we told them we were out. Then the price actually went over $1.00 per gallon! That caused a problem because the marquee, the signs, and the pumps were all set up for XX x/10 cents per gallon. The marquee and signs had placards we could replace for any of those numbers but there was no place to add a dollar, nowhere to place or hang the placard. The gas pumps also had to be altered. We were selling gas for 99.9 cents for a little while till we got a new marquee and everything got changed over. Then it was pure madness. Some people wouldn't stop pumping at the limit so we would turn the pump off on them and wouldn't reset it till they left. Some people would go back in line and try to get more gas and would become angry when we reminded them of the limit (they already knew it). Some people tried to take gas anyway. Many people swore at me and some became belligerent. Occasionally, one would threaten me. I had to send several off the lot while holding a baseball bat in my hands. No, I think things are better now.

1973 marked the end of gas pumps and signs like these:

I'd be okay to pay the current $2.80 a gallon for gas if it was Sunoco 360...
