OT - How much is regular gas where you are?

[Gort]

Count your blessings. I was paying $3.15 for low-grade a week ago here in CA. I haven't refilled since, but the thought causes shudders.

Well, that was last night. It's $2.89 now.

So don't use it. I'll refund your money. :-)

The cross country "Colonial" pipeline starts in Texas, goes through Louisiana, then up east coast. It is one of two pipelines serving my area and is shut down because there is no electricity available for the intermediary pumping stations I got this freom a retired customer of mine who used to work at one of the terminals along the way. He told me he thought it would be running at part capacity in about 2 weeks, his guess. He says this is a 50 inch line. He told me the pump gas, fuel oil, motor oil allthrough the same line. They know when to tap the line to get what they want out of the line. So there will also be fuel oil and motor oil shortage out east if they don't get the pumps running soon.

I also heard the price of gas in my area is going from just over $3.00 now, to $5.00 per gallon tomorrow>

Ouch

It was until recently. Now the prices are just about the same, plus it's about a 30 mile drive to NJ from our home on the western side of Philly.

While we're at it, is anyone here in a position to inform us about the current price of gasoline (US$ per US gallon) at the gas stations in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia?

Just wondering....

Time for us to apply a Category 6 surcharge on all food exports to the OPEC members.

A dew years ago I used to be fond of mentioning that except for municipal water supplies, gasoline was the cheapest liquid you could buy at retail in small quantities.

Those days are pretty much over, milk is under $4/gallon here in Taxachusetts, and you get a container with it. Coca Cola and Pepsi in 2 litre bottles at their frequent supermarket sales prices beat the price of gasoline about a year ago.

******************

I should have asked this when I posted an inquiry earlier today about the price of gasoline in Saudi Arabia:

What are the typical federal + state taxes on a gallon of gasoline in the USA and elsewhere in the world?

Jeff

[Tom Miller]

Yeah, I've noticed a lot of price gouging in New Jersey where the much lower gas taxes *should* be giving much lower prices but now aren't. And a 30 mile drive isn't worth it unless you're going that way anyway.

[zagga]

[keith]

[Tim Fischer]
