Don't buy gas on September 1st
-
is that canadian or american? because even when we were paying $1.00 a gallon 4 years ago, they were still paying like $2.50 a gallon american.
and also, when we were paying $1.00/gal, the UK was paying $4.50/gal, now we're paying $2.80/gal and they are paying $5.60/gal.
you tell me why everyone elses prices haven't trippled, and only ours have.
btw, $4.12/gal in CAD is about $3.20/gal USD

dont we get our gas around this area from bismark or canada?
-
barely any oil is drilled in this area because the taxes on it are so high the oil companies can buy gas elsewhere and import it for less than drilling in area like ND. i used to go to montana 2 times a year until last year and slowly have watched the oil booms(or what ever the right word for them is) stop running. the people my dad works with have lots of relative in that area and they all say the same thing they just got shut down because of cost

i know it is costly to pump in this area I was just curious as to where our oil comes from up here. Do we get ours hauled all the way up from the gulf or do we get it from another source. If we get it from the gulf its not really a surprise the prices just went up a buhjillion dollars

Jeez! I doubt "boycotting" the gas station for a freaking day will do anything. Like they care if we buy gas - they have the upper hand. Honestly, if you’re that concerned, go siphon it out of some cars in the campus parking lots
Pretty sure it’s going to come down to that sooner or later! Hah 
And PS it wouldn't hurt Americans to start walking to places anyhow. ND has got a huge percent of fat fucks livin' here... gross.... -
btw... it's not the gas stations that are jacking up prices.... they are just raising them proportionally with the what their suppliers are selling for... there are a shortage... when there is a shorage it's a supply and demand market.. prices are going to go up... I don't see them going down for quite some time... especially while we have so many refineries down because of this hurricane.

there is an oil boom again in the williston basin. they have always been drilling out there. There's plenty of oil out there. There is a pipeline that runs right by Tioga ND, home of the first oil well in nd. I know a few guys that worked on it.
P.S. I did read that it may not be cheap to refine. But I'm correcting that it is there, and a lot of it.
