Is Virginia's $3.83 pretty reasonable compared to other states this week?
Cheers mikey
Paid $4.24/gal for 87-oct at an Arco known to be lower priced than others this morning...so yes.

I liked trump's plan to take over iraqs oil . We'd drastically lower our oil costs, and protect iraq's oil from iran!

No.

We have way more oil under our own soil in the US than the Arabs could ever dream of...just need to lift the regulations stopping us from getting to it. Which means the current administration and pretty much anyone who thinks "environmental regulation" is a good idea needs to be kicked out on their ***.

But this is not a topic for the 944 board...we have Off-Topic for that.

I'm staring to think what they are trying to do is suck up all of the a-rab's oil while letting the price of oil continuously increse to force us off our dependency of oil. By the the middle east is past peak production the US will have had our energy dependency redistributed to other (most likely domestic) forms simply because they will be cheaper by then. Once they are in full swing costs will be reduced through scale and develompnent. Therefore leaving our reserves for pharma and synthetics when oil is truely expensive. Oil is cheap at $200/bbl.

I strongly dislike Obama but still.

Your complaints of petrol prices are noted.

Regular unleaded (91 RON) in Australia is currently at $1.52 a litre or around there
that's AUD$5.75/Gal, which is very similar to the USD right now.

Quit all yer bellyaching.

i've driven practically everywhere.

i can tell you that Oklahoma City always has the cheapest gas in the country.

in fact, the 7-11 on 66th street right off i-35 always had the cheapest gas that i ever saw.

0.66 cents a gallon in 1997. those were the days.


most places gas is going past 4 bucks now.

So your honestly going to cherry pick the price from right at the middle of the crisis when prices on everything cratered because investors where selling everything in a panic? You and i both know that's a rather unfair statistic. After all gas had been up to what? $4 a gallon previous to that?

So your hoping for the economy to crater again so we can have cheap gas again? You can't be serious.

My Dodge V10 has a dual fuel LPG set up on it. Unfortunately around here propane is now as much or more expensive than gas. So it does not make any sense to use it.

Oklahoma is #5

Behind Wyoming, Colorado, Montana, and Utah

OK City doesn't even make the top 10.
