Sure glad that i am out of the commercial Freight Relocation system . Ya would need a Brink's truck to follow you from fuel stop to fuel stop. . On road fuel around here is from 3.94 to 4.49 . And this has caused me to do a lot less running around. And with higher fuel prices we are even cutting back on what and how much we run the tractors . May have to start looking real hard for a couple old Famall 450 Diesels and another 720-730 Deere , my even have to look into David Browns . Now if i could just find a ft. and back axle in 3.54 for my Dodge .
And what is the breakdown on tax"s? Some pumps locally note $.11 federal and $.34 state tax last year. 10% ethanol mix"s common and Ethanol made locally--but California for years used MTBE instead until it was classified a carcogen/cancer causer--then the state transport people were complaining the Ethanol was costing them so much on transportation to California and they couldn"t get a tax break since it wasn"t made in California-mainly because state didn"t give permits for stills past 10 years. Formulation of California fuels compared to Minnesota- something about need another pass through the refinery and special blending to meet the California fuel emissions standards tighter than Minnesota, most of Midwest. BART get some state fuel excise tax money, some other highway rebuilding fund from earthquakes also has 3 to 5 cents extra excise tax per gallon. Right now in Wisconsin the gas station across street has $3.57 for regular 10% ethanol, .$3.99 non ethanol premium, $4.05 ultra low sulfur diesel. Some offroad farm delivered diesel with a bit more sulfur similar to railroad fuel is about $3.00/gallon, some volume discount from the Cenex/co-op outfit, this is the pink stuff that cost you $500.00+ if DOT inspector finds it in your commercial pickup or truck fuel tank on the highway-- but the old Mercedes and VW diesel classic cars pre 2000 seem to get away with it. And the Amish are laughing as they get their buggy fuel from ditch side starting about now. Teasing Alert!

Couple of months ago gasoline was $9.30 us per US gallon in Greece.

Went to $3.859 today, low grade, was 3.699 yesterday, w.c. Ohio. Strange, you don't hear much in the media about gas prices like you used to.

Don't understand. I'm 6 miles from the Alberta Heartland. I actually work at a oil refinery. Good portion of our Alberta oil heads down to the states, yet we are paying 4.92 per us gallon for regular gas. Diesel is pushing 5.29 per us gallon.
$3.45 here in North Central Iowa (super unleaded w/ ethanol) State gas tax is a big factor. We lived in Tennessee 15 years ago, gas in Union City Tennessee ran about $1.30, 10 miles up the road in Fulton Kentucky $.99. Tennessee's gas tax was IRRC about a dime a gallon more (but no state income tax!) and Union City Tennessee had a city tax on gasoline. It was a weird situation, Union City is in a dry county but municipalities could set their own rules for alcohol, Union City allowed beer sales. So of course all the convenience stores were in the city limits so they could sell beer, the city tagged on and passed a gasoline tax. Here's what the politicians didn't understand. Go to Fulton Kentucky on a Friday or Saturday night. There'd be 5 cars in town with Tennessee tags for every Kentucky tag. Folks would drive up to Kentucky to buy wine and hard liquor (and probably beer too), lottery tickets and probably fill their gas tanks too. I wonder how many millions of dollars leaked across the state border because of this. For the first half we lived in Northern Wisconsin gas in Michigan was usually about $.07 a gallon cheaper, Michigan's gas tax was $.08/gallon less so the Menominee stations would undercut the Marinette stations by $.07 and keep the extra penny. But then two penny Jenny added a sales tax on gasoline on top of the road tax and a lot of Michiganders started buying fuel in Wisconsin.

I wonder how George Bush can be blamed for the price ?

I DID google it! the average price when Bush left office was $1.84. Yes, it had risen to an average of $4.08, actually about $5.00 here in NY, but it dropped back down. The truth is that there isn't much difference between the 2 as far as gas prices go. Who is in power doesn't affect pump prices much. The other costs we pay....yeah, those are affected.

"To be sure, gas averaged $1.84 nationwide the day external_link took office, according to AAA. At $3.78 now, the national average has, indeed, more than doubled."
But our president is pleased by this.

Gas prices did not come down in 2008 due to some benevolent action by some politician, or even market forces. The economy kinda crashed right around that time.
People have short memories. They look back at the gas prices in late 2008 and say, "What a great President that Bush guy was!"
I don't care if he caused it or not. It was under his watch. It is his fault. Fair's fair.
