What are you paying for Gas??

[Jim]

Amazing that we have a .50 cent difference Nationwide

Part of it can be attributed to the taxes that the states ad to the purchase. According to www.gaspricewatch.com the Federal Tax on a gallon is 18.4 cents.
It looks like state taxes range from 8 cents in Alaska to 32.1 cents in Wisconsin. More info on what different states charge and how the charge it can be found at http://www.gaspricewatch.com/usgastaxes.asp

$1.92 at the truck stop near Baytown. Teri, are you any relation to Bubba?

Yes, he is my husband

Yes, he is my husband

Thought your's was familiar name. Your Dad was a Division director (3 I think). I remember when you and Bubba were dating. Sure remember the days when the Sewell family dominated the TAD ranks. Tell him I said hello. Back to regular scheduled programming.

Just got back from Playa Del Carmen. $10.00 ( 100 pesos) would get you about 15 litres or about 3.9 gallons.

2.12 here in Phoenix is the cheapest I've paid, though the news said some stations had dipped as low as 1.96.

I paid $1.89 at HEB the other day and $1.94 yesterday at Shell in Deer Park.
Also for Teri, I just found a picture the other day of Bubba's old TAD at Houston in the late 80's. One of my family's good friends, Lance, use to work for Bubba if I remember correctly.

Michigan normally is one of the higher priced gas states but currently we're doing pretty good.

Between home and work this morning (about 30 miles) it ranged from 2.10-2.22.

here in NW NJ... $1.97-$2.09. Along some highways, it's higher.

Citgo is usually the lowest, but I, along with many Americans, no longer purchase Citgo gas. The company is owned by the Venezuelan Government whose dictator leader has said many times that he wants to bring down America . I'll be darned if I'll give him my money to help him do that.

$1.95 per gallon just outside of Little Rock, and $1.94 at the local Kroger with a Kroger card.

 

[ReactionTimes]

$1.95 at HEB, Raceway and Murphy's (Wal-Mart). Higher everywhere else. It feels odd to say that $1.95 is CHEAP for a gallon of gas.

Oh, and if you buy a gift card from Wal-Mart and use it at your Wal-Mart (Murphy's) gas station you get .03 off per gallon.

Neither a "buycott" nor a boycott is likely to accomplish much beyond the symbolic. In the first case, the Citgo brand (marketed by Citgo Petroleum Corporation, which has been owned by Petróleos de Venezuela,
the national oil company of Venezuela, since 1990) doesn't have nearly enough presence in the U.S. to satisfy demand; in the second case, boycotting a gasoline brand over political issues is problematic for a number of reasons (not least of which is the notion that threatening not to buy gasoline from someone who is threatening not to sell it to you doesn't sound like an effective ploy for either side).

Although Citgo may be owned by Petróleos de Venezuela, it is a formerly American company which is still headquartered in the U.S. (in Houston, Texas), employs 4,000 people, and supplies 14,000 independent retailers with gasoline and other petroleum products — Americans with no substantive connection to Venezuela who would be economically harmed by such an action. (Citgo also provides free or discounted heating oil to low-income communities and tribal reservations within the United States.) And, of course, in today's oil market Citgo could likely find alternative buyers for its products far more easily than the U.S. could make up the shortfall created by a cut-off of Venezuelan oil.

As we've noted in many other articles discussing various schemes regarding where and how people should purchase gasoline, the global and fungible nature of the world oil market doesn't really provide consumers with many effective opportunities to influence political issues through their buying patterns.

No, but at least I know I'm not contributing to a facist dictator who wants to bring down America. And I am not alone on that issue.

I'm well acquainted with Snopes and I bring it to many people's attention every week. Your reference to it has little to do with my post.

I'm not sure what you read in my post, but what I wrote was that I am not buying it and I gave the reason why I am not buying it.

Anyone who wishes to fund his effort is free to do so. I am more concerned about global terrorism (he has already aligned himself with Iran) then I am about the US job market being slightly impacted. Sometimes you just have to look at the bigger picture. I have and I'm acting in accordance with what I have learned.

By the way, I work closely with several native American reservations and at least one reservation has refused the 'free heating oil' for this very reason, in spite of their poverty. ( Also, most reservation homes are heated with electricity. )
