"Would be nice to see it back down to $1.15 or so like it was four years ago. Damn oil companies had record earnings in the 3rd quarter of 2004, I wonder why"
Real easy answer to your question.....
Four years ago you elected a president who's family and friends are in the oil business. Does anyone honestly think there is no connection?
Yup, and then you bring him back again.. The skys the limit now..

And what's funny, in Atlanta this past weekend, the same brand (Chevron Supreme) was 30 cents cheaper. And in Birmingham, just a hundred miles south of here, and in the same state, it's 20 cents cheaper. Our taxes are about the same.

$1.49 for 87 and $1.69 for 93 octane here in St. Louis.
Some of you need to place blame where it is due. The gasoline in the pipeline is all the same price. So where some pay $1.49 for reg unleaded at the pump and at the same time others are paying $2.00 - something is a-miss IN YOUR LOCAL AREA. It most possibly is your specific state TAXING THE HELL OUT OF YOU.
