#1 "On Aug. 13, Lundberg reported the nationwide price for self-serve regular hit another record, jumping to nearly $3.03 a gallon."

And on August 20, I paid $2.65 a gallon in Chesterfield County, VA (outside Richmond).

I should have bought gas the day before, when it was $2.63.

"Lundberg said the cost of crude oil isn't the only reason for the skyrocketing prices. Demand, taxes, weather and government regulations all figure into the complex equation, she said."

She "forgot" ~~blood-sucking leeches~~ SPECULATORS.

#3 And don't forget that Government is hook on taxing gas, like a meth addict. At the point of extraction, at the point of refining, at the point of transportation, at the point of sales. If you eliminated all the passed on taxes as well as the direct tax at the pump, just how much would the gas price fall?

#6 I was in Houston yesterday and the price there, home to about 1/3 of refining capacity is MORE than in Waco, 200 miles away. Sheesh.

#7 Price is a function of ability to pay, not cost.
