Where can I get some of that cheap gas?

$2.19 reg unl - $2.39 hi octane and we are usually 20 cents a gallon behind Callyforniaa.

To recoup our tax dollars to liberate Iraq, we need to pump those oil fields dry. Let's hear it for 99 cent gas, lol.

I hear the oil pipeline into AZ is out of commission, that could be part of increase in AZ. BUT here in Indiana I don't understand Diesel being 2.24 a gallon.....Gary where are you getting such CHEAP diesel for 2.14?

might have to go back to driving my 8MPG Bronco if Diesel prices don't come back down...........LOL

But really we have been lucky that fuel prices have been as low as they are for years when the rest of the world was paying $3~$5 a gallon and we had it for a buck

Renae does all the running for me, I guess if I really looked at the check book to see how much she spends on gas a week Id freak. FYI the old van holds 40 gallons and she needs to fill it twice a week.

Ed - Supply was disrupted during the unusual hurricane season. Any disruption causes a spike in prices and these price increases are instantaneous at the terminals throughout the system. Most stations that have survived the problem of the past few months/years do enough volume that the inventory has to be replaced in a day or two, so this higher cost replacement fuel is dropped, thus higher retail prices. Unfortunately a disruption due to a hurricane in FL will effect retail prices in OH.

I'm not justifing what the a**hole majors do, just trying to explain the marketplace. It's killing us distributors! My inventory cost was 90 cents last year, it's $1.90 this year. Gas & oil distributors are folding up or selling out at cost of equipment/real estate all over the country. I just hope I don't have to sell my Prowler and all other non-essentials this year and my home next year.
