The same (and more) as jinushaun posted. There's a pipeline that's been broken/getting repaired here so the price-gouging games have begun. Many Phoenix area gas stations are out of gas, or not letting people in for awhile is more like it. We got the news last week that this was happening so I got gas Thursday night, I should be good til the end of this week but I am gonna go get gas at 4am to avoid the lines. It's a hell house right now.

Here in Fort Wayne, premium is $1.67, I think regular is about $1.49

Still cheap considering tax on it is at least 40 cents per gallon in most states. Nobody complains about the gouging taxes on gas, I say raise hell about that instead.

It's only affecting Arizona. The part that broke is between here and Tucson. I am sure there are "valves" along the way where they can shut down some sections and other places not near the break can still get gas. My guess is its another price-gouging game

That's a good point, we have it good on gas prices here. If you look back in history at how much the price of other goods and services have gone up over the years, fuel hasn't risen near as much. I don't know why Americans get so bent out of shape over gas prices whenever there is a surge, guess they just need something to bitch about and it's an easy target.

There are only so many pipelines and there haven't been any refineries built in years, mostly due to environmentalist, the current ones run at 98% capacity 24/7. This makes the supply extremely tight, therefor any pipeline rupture, refinery fire or shutdown, war or anything that interupts supply affects price almost imediatley.

I'm not saying there isn't profit taking when these things occur, the futures market controls the prices which are decided by the speculators and overall production and world oil inventory. The futures market is as close to legal price fixing as you can get, but it's what we got.

lowest is 1.30, highest is 1.50

[YogsVR4]

Ours is in the high 1.60s for the 87 and 1.89 for the 93. Its always more for gas here then it is downstate.

The US certainly has it well, but we have a right to bitch. Inflation is inflation.

I know I wouldn't want to pay what the Brits pay for petrol...
