Replying to: rockylee (Jan 30, 2007 4:02 am) CA voted Dem and our prices are still higher than before the election. We have Nancy and the highest gas prices. Lucky us. The average San Diegan is still paying $2.50 per gallon. It has not slowed anyone down or helped the congestion. You are lucky to be living in an uncongested part of our Country. And you have cheap gas to boot. |

Just an FYI: Banks and Drug companies also offer 'necessities'. Their profit MARGINS are substantially higher than the oil/gas industry. Can you tell me what is a 'reasonable' profit margin?

Replying to: rorr (Jan 30, 2007 6:27 am)  Banks aren't a neccessity don't cost me money and thus is a apples to oranges "straw man" arguement. The reason why California's gas prices are so high is look at the taxes y'all pay per gallon. You will find your answer there. Rocky P.S. Texas, panhandle had very high gas prices about a year+ ago. We were paying more than californians at one point. Gas prices right now here in the Amarillo-Dumas Panhandle range from $2.03-$2.09 from what I've observed as of yesterday.

Replying to: tpe (Jan 26, 2007 5:46 am) A .20 to .25 swing in one day used to be unheard of here but in the last year has become fairly common. I don't think supply has anything to do with it. The ConocoPhillips refinery right across the river that supplies much of this area is chugging away. |

Dayton, OH: Twelve days ago we went from $1.81 nominal price to $2.09. Then the price broke down quickly to $1.85 at many stations in areas, so the price "rose" to $2.19 last Friday approx. at most stations in area. That broke by Sunday and was back down to $1.99 so Tuesday by noon most stations were at $2.25. $.28, $.34, $.26. I have noticed when prices broke down in the area and the companies who do no price controlling some would say try to raise it and it doesn't stick, they start multiple raises becoming more aggressive and closer together. the price doesn't drop as far down each time and thre raises are aggressive jumps. Trouble is I see the area Murphy stations didn't go to $2.25, they only went to $2.15 and $2.09, e.g. Guess they didn't go along with the fax/phone call. |

Replying to: rockylee (Jan 30, 2007 7:19 am) I'm not sure how one discusses economics against this mind set.  I give up. You win, rock. I'll try to stop imposing facts as speedbumps against your diatribes in the future. Getting back on topic - gas has been hovering right around the $1.98 to $2.02 range for unleaded in Cedar Park since Friday. I haven't seen the large swings reported elsewhere.

Replying to: rorr (Jan 30, 2007 8:26 am) I think it's best we don't discuss anything political because you and I obviously see the world much different. You are a capitalist and I'm a protectionist. We are like trying to put two magnets together. Rocky P.S. Wife bought $10 of gas for $2.03 here in Dumas a few hours ago at Valero.

| Down 6 cents this morning to $2.19, and my sister reports $2.15 down in York county. | |
| I was up in Laurel, MD, and the cheapest place I saw was a Shell station; 87 octane was $2.029 per gallon. I ended up driving past my local Citgo twice yesterday. First time, 87 was $2.239, but the second time past it was down a bit to $2.159. | |
