How much is gas where you live?
#123
Yeah, right. So we have a little bit of greed but not a lot of it. We have 50 cents of greed but not $1.50 or $2.00 of greed. Can anyone say "paranoid?"

At $2.50 per gallon in 2018, the equivalent, inflation-adjusted price in 1975 would be 54 cents, which is pretty much what gasoline cost in 1975. Which means that the price of gasoline has not increased at all in the last 43 years. If this is the result of an oil company price conspiracy, they're not very good conspirators.

Here in Mich. where I'm at as of today it's $2.77 for Reg.
I was in Indiana today and filled up for $2.45.
Michigans gas prices change daily.

In other words, why let a few facts get in the way of a good rant.
No, I don't think Big Tobacco is, either. Maybe decades ago, but tobacco has suffered legal setback after legal setback over the last several decades. The tobacco settlement of the late '90s has the tobacco companies paying the states billions of dollars in penalties. If what tobacco has experienced in recent decades is a result of a conspiracy on their part, they're just as bad at is as Big Oil is.

California is always off the map when it comes to gas prices (or home prices or anything else!) because of taxes and the special blends of gasoline the state requires. Prices there are not a good representation of what they are nationwide.

Here's a snip from the AAA website showing average gas prices per state for a few states for regular fuel as of this date. This list is updated daily.
California and Hawaii are the outliers. Alaska is a little high, too.
You can see the entire list here:

Big Tobacco is the worst EVER. They knowingly sold Cancer causing Nicotine delivery systems (cigarettes) to the world and are still doing so. They have known for decades that Nicotine causes cancer but continued to deny it. If that isn't a conspiracy, I don't know what is.

Cheap huh? Compared to $1..53/L and $1.75/L in Vancouver.
Randy is right. It's greed.

buckle up...it's going up
And in a few weeks when AB turns off the tap you will be paying $1.99 per liter. Be sure to thank your NDP-Green party coalition government for holding up the pipeline. Once YVR runs out of aviation fuel and the ports run out of diesel you will be in fine shape there in Vancouver. Enjoy!

$2.33 for 89 and $2.93 for 93 octane here. We do not have non-ethanol here in Mayberry except for racing gas, I'm out on that.

Does anyone else see a price cycle where they live?
Here in South Oz the price of fuel varies up to AU$0.40c/liter for regular over a three to four week cycle.
That's US$1.14/Gallon up and down over 3 -4 weeks.
Do you think the industry is gouging us? Geez that pisses me off.

Gas prices follow the market. Oil prices are higher now than they have been for some time. Demand is up world-wide, and Russia and OPEC decided a few months ago to hold down production to prop up prices. U.S.-produced crude is stepping in to alleviate that somewhat, but supplies are tighter than they have been recently. Gasoline here, which has been hovering in the low $2 range for some time, is now up to the $2.70 to $2.80 range.

I don't think the oil companies are "gouging" anyone. If they were, our price would be $5.00 per gallon, and yours would be $10. If anyone is gouging you, it's your government imposing so many taxes on a gallon of fuel. This is particularly true in Canada, a huge oil-producing country yet has very high fuel prices relative to the U.S.

Regular has been hangin around $2.39 and 93 has been around $3.00 for the most part here in Mayberry.

Price in Victoria BC today is $1.54 a litre. I get it a little cheaper near home about 50 km out of Victoria, $1.47.
Some of the increase is local gas tax, some is federal carbon tax and a fair bit of it I'm sure is government and corporate greed. Hard to say yet how much is due to the pipeline fiasco.
Just remember, Alberta...the NDPs and Greens running the province don't speak for the majority. Build the damned pipeline already.

From 1970 to 1973 gas averaged 36 cents per gallon. After the oil embargo gas averaged $.57 a gallon in 1975. The U.S. has a surplus of oil but we lack refinery capacity so whenever they "change" over from winter to summer blend or a holiday weekend, prices rise. Everyone fights the building of new refineries in "their" backyard. I bought Exxon stock in 1975.
