You guys are soooo lucky actually. You CAN'T get gas in Phoenix. A pipeline broke and only about every fifteenth station has gas (87 only)! HERE are some of our prices, if you can find it: $3.79 = 87octane
$3.89 = 89octane
$3.99 = 91octane
Hah and you thought you were getting screwed!!!

I'd be walking if gas was that much.

They are supposed to have things working again by Sunday. Yes, this has really sucked. Needeless to say I have not driven my truck around that much lately. After the pipeline getting fixed, prices should go back to the usual $1.69,$1.79,$1.89. I hope it happens relatively quickly b/c you know how stations hate having to charge less.

well, gas jumped up here again. now 93 is 1.79. at least where i filled up at and it is one of the cheaper places. i do think the cheapest in town (which is across town) is 1.76. needless to say, i should keep my complaining away from tech.

Looks like are oil company's are looking out for us again. Shell prem. $1.95 per gallon. Just filled my 03 Tahoe Z71 up and it was $46.00. Boy that's cheap!
The funny thing is race gas prices didn't change at all considering your buying a 55 gallon drum.

I thought I was losing my mind when I saw 93 for close to $1.80 here, looks like the OPEC (insert explicit language here; asswipes for instance) are up to no good again. Well that is pretty close to a trade Cartel from what I think I remember I learned about in Micro Economics.
Hmmm...I wonder if something can be done about OPEC?

When you cruise on over to the gas station to fill up your car’s gas tank, you naturally assume that you are paying for gas. What you don’t realize is that over half of what you pay goes to the government in taxes rather than for the gas.
The federal government adds an excise tax of 18.3 cents on every gallon of gas. Each state then adds an additional excise tax now averaging 19.4 cents per gallon. This adds up to a total of 37.7 cents per gallon.
Based on recent price data from the Energy Information Administration of the U.S. Department of Energy, these taxes account for about 28 percent of what you pay for a gallon of gas at the pump.
But that is not all. The government imposes 43 different direct and indirect taxes on the production and distribution of gas. The total tax burden amounts to a whooping 54 percent of the price of a gallon of gas.
