Yeah well......Look at how much gas it took to build that car, the batteries, and deliver the electricity to a port where you can charge it.   🙄   

Subtract THAT and we'd be back down to .30/gal.

Well my wife said she don't know where because it sure as heck is going up here.

Her car gets 38 MPG though.

Gas has gone from$2.41 to $2.89 here in 2 weeks .So much for prices coming down.

I travel to Illinois for work and over the summer gas would fluctuate 50-1.00 per gallon in 30 miles it was crazy. And it was always way more expensive once you cross the river for MO.  Thank god for a company car and card, They actually got me a diesel over the summer. Good mileage but it costs a lot more

Does it seem like anytime the federal gov't threatens to crack down on oil companies...make 'em pay more taxes or whatever...the oil companies just raise the price of gas to cover the difference, so it never comes out of their bottom line?  It's what you'd want, as a shareholder.

Isn't that the fallacy of the make big corporations pay more taxes and expect that they won't change their prices to cover that increase?

Well why wouldn't they do this when they are told the Government is going to do away with them.

Sometimes it's something as simple as extreme cold weather like we had before Christmas;

One of the most dangerous places on the roadway is between an Illionois driver and a MO gas station!  Poor folks from IL filling up 5-gallon jugs/trucks, cars full of gas just across the JB and other bridges.  Same across the Kentucky line.
