I was just in Cambria CA for a week. The cheap stuff was $4.69 there. About 80 miles north of there right on Highway 1 is the gas station that is notoriously the most expensive in the nation. They didn't have a sign up when I drove past on my way home. It wouldn't surprise me if they were charging $5.21 tho.

I drove up to a gas station the other day, and on one side of the block gas was $3.55, and the one on the other side of the block it was $3.35. You can guess where everyone (including me) went.

$4.15

And my company is finally making me pay for some of it. This is the first year in 20 that I have had to pay for some of my own gas. I calculate almost $100 a month!!

We have now reached crisis stage!

You should be happy Badger, this is what you voted for.

happy

In fact, you should vote for Obama again.

It's about fairness.

Other people have to pay thier own gas too.

Why should you be any different?

Wholesale gas was $3.30ish yesterday. The rest is taxes and store overhead. And the store ain't getting a lot.

It's funny to hear obama-apologist actually talk about how this is a good thing. Imo it's not his fault but he'll get the blame as any prez does. That said, the Obama machine is in full spin mode. This is one of those killer issues though so we'll see

One flaw in your premise. I did not vote for Obama.

California politicians have decided their citizens will get the right to be leaders in the green wave, for this they receive the privilege of paying much more than the rest of the country for all their energy.

Now they aren't saying it but put them in front of an environmental group and you will get them agreeing that high gas prices helps green goals. The one hurt the most by green polices and high gas prices is the average person

I guess kids these days get gas cards? In my day id ask my parents for a 20 to fill the tank and they were resistant just for a 20.

Itt costs me around $100 every 5 days to fill my tank. My car is a gas guzzler.

part of the problem with the amount of gas available is all throughout the coutnry there are different standards for how the fuel must be refined. If the federal government standardized things for the entire nation the supply would go way, way up. It wont for whatever reason

Refineries are the bottleneck.

Yes, if he is overweight, then he probably is (at least) twice the man I am.

And even southern white racists can be polite.

See Sasha Cohen and meeting the white racists in Borat....

Badger is not a southern redneck however.

Anyway, Badger IS a good person, I don't hold anything against him. Just trolling.

Lots of the stations near the Portland Airport do not let you pump your own gas. Yes, Jersey too.

Man, the oil companies really have it made.

They can shut down refineries on a whim and drive up prices virtually overnight (which is pretty much what they have been doing) despite the fact that there is both a) weak demand and b) a glut of supply of their product.

Then by default half of the country will blame whomever is in the White House at that given moment for the fact that the price of their product (and their resulting profits) are soaring.

It's win-focking-win I tell you!

Wait...

What was the price of a gallon of gas under Bush?

$4.21 in July 2008.

Was that Bush's fault or was that also the evil Obama?

It's the fault of whomever's in charge. That's Obama atm. In 2008 it was Dubya. Same thing in 2001. in 2000 it was Clinton. In 1990 it was his dad. In 1980 it was Carter. etc.

When I lived in Oregon there were no self serve stations. Against state law. Maybe that has since changed.

I was just in Cambria CA for a week. The cheap stuff was $4.69 there. About 80 miles north of there right on Highway 1 is the gas station that is notoriously the most expensive in the nation. They didn't have a sign up when I drove past on my way home. It wouldn't surprise me if they were charging $5.21 tho.

coffee


There are several stations down here close to OIA that never post their prices. They typically charge $2/$3 per gallon more than whatever the going rate is. I haven't been down there lately but I assume they're up around $6 or $7 a gallon if not more. They do this to trap tourists and businesspeople who rent cars from the airport. They have to return the cars with the tanks topped off, and many people forget to get gas until they're almost to the airport, by that time it's too late.

People have bitched about it a lot but it is perfectly legal to not post your prices in FL so buyer beware.

Obama's win or loss will be based solely on the economy. There are a lot of dominoes in our economic future, and no one knows what oil prices will be in the run-up to the election.

Oil prices are climbing but aren't nearly as high as in 2008 when gas prices were last this high.

But yeah, oil and fuel prices can go a long way toward derailing the recovery. I have assumed for the past year or so that a double dip was all but inevitable but I never saw oil/gas prices as a catalyst.

I saw somewhere polls showing santorum only losing by a few points to obama. So I'm not sure that's true. Although at this point it may just be that they don't know anything about him so he's just a generic "not-Obama."

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/02/27/poll-obama-holds-double-digit-leads-over-romney-and-santorum/?hpt=hp_t2
President Barack Obama holds double digit leads over the top two GOP presidential candidates, according to a new national survey.

A Politico/George Washington University Battleground Poll released Monday indicates Obama topping former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney 53% to 43% in a hypothetical general election matchup, with the president leading former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania 53% to 42%.

ZOMG! grin

Each Party starts out with about 45% of the vote. All the campaigning and money and discussions and the state of the country is all about the 10%.

Obama is the incumbent. That gives him a platform that is probably worth around 2%. The economy sucks. That should cost him 2-4%. Liberals are lukewarm about him. Probably costs him another % or so, especially amongst young folks. He does have a great campaign organization and he is an excellent campaigner, so, that probably gains him a couple %. So, all things being equal, we'd expect him to get right around 47% of the vote and lose in a landslide. That's why, back when they were running them, polls with "generic Republican" as a choice, were showing that candidate doing very well against Obama.

But, the Republican field is so pathetic and has moved so far to the right that Obama is almost a lock to get re-elected. He might well win with the biggest landslide in decades.

I think Rush and his ilk should get the most credit for Obama's second term. Thank you, boys!

I think something like 50% of the money to the collective GOP PACs are from like 5 people. Imagine how much different the GOP race could be if Gingrich and Santorum had to drop out months ago because their billionaire backers were limited in how much they could contribute. It would also affect Romney too as he is spending something like an unprecedented $10 million a month in the primary (partly due to the backers of others0. grin
