Fuel Prices

[darkelvis]

Megan and I just took a trip to Whitefish, MT for a week and a half. The cheapest gas of the whole trip was when we filled up in fargo before we left. The highest was $3.50 for 87 in Medora and the average throughout montana was 3.17 for 85.5 3.25 for 87 and 3.35(ish) for 89/91 octane.

Guys I would kill to pay 2.20 per gallon here. Basic unleaded fuel here is over 3.25...I paid 94 dollars for 25 gallons the other day for my truck...so all you guys who have little four-banger pocket rockets, quit complaining! lol...

Fargo-Moorhead actually has pretty decent prices compared to other areas of MN/ND. Going east to Duluth a week ago I saw as high as $3.30 for premium.

Take a quick look at when this thread was started. Gas is now in the 2.89-3.20 range here too.

Right, because obviously it's all his fault:icon_rabbit:

If i heard correctly, bush stopped his mass stockpiling of crude recently, so there's a lot available hence prices went down...

[krzydrftr93]

the rumor here is gas is suppose to get back to 2.00 a gallon again.

I dont believe it really but if it is 2.59 there it might get close.

its 2.99 here for like the last week and half

Stamart was 2.51, 2.53 today for regular, let's hope they keep dropping

I assumed it went up since it was a holiday weekend...
They normally go up on Holiday weekends..

Nope, but according to EVERY right wing talk show host, Katrina caused little/no drop in production of crude oil in the gulf. So you can't blame Katrina either. You could say that the war in Iraq is causing gas prices to go higher, but it really shouldn't be. Prior to the war we got almost none of our oil from Iraq (just a tiny bit in the oil-for-food program) anyway, now we control the country (supposedly). FWIW, saying Bush/Cheney aren't asshole deep in the oil industry is like saying John Kerry's family boycotts ketchup.

Oil companies in the past year have reported the largest quarterly earnings of any corporation in any industry...yet they try to justify $3/gallon gas to me. Gouging, 100%. Now, granted, the bottled water industry charges ridiculous amounts for 20 oz of spring water, but at least I have the option to rehydrate myself with tap water if I choose to.
