that's odd, a lot of the crude for my $2.17/9 comes from Canada :icon_confused:
We also sell our crude to the US at a huge discount. World price is around $70.00 per barrel, but you pay us $35ish.

The one year gas prices were stupid low for a little while I caught wind of a gas price of about 98 cents a gallon in I think New Mexico......don't quote me though.....guess no one made an article about this a year or two ago because all I found was gas was this low only in the late 90s briefly but I swear to god I remember hearing this a couple years ago.....although gas prices have to be kinda high or to some unreasonable in cost but if we sold gas for cents people would be buying gas like crazy and still make the gas producer's most likely more money than they were before and car/truck makers could still produce efficient gas sipping vehicles....ironically more recently in my nonsense research and studying car/truck prices haven't gone up much maybe by a few grand at the most since somewhere in the 90s, in fact a normal equipped American car in early y2k days would cost about 30k something as such as a few American companies still sell some models for......just saying guys these prices for cars/trucks aren't changing much and neither are the gas mileage they're getting as the chevy tahoe still gets shit gas mileage just like the 2nd gen tahoe's........
I'll speak for everyone when I say HUH???? I don't think you r getting facts right... Gas went up about 10 years ago. I know it was $3.50-4.00 for years until Obama came along. New cars cost WAY more now than they did in the 90's. Even with inflation they cost more than they did because they are adding WAY too much crap which increases the value..

That one guy with ADHD and doesn't stop talking about cars.
Sorry for the prior ignorant post about gas and car price stuff...I know I was talking out my ass and when I put that post up I was super tired...so that didn't help any....any way at the gas station I frequent down here in Florida gas is $2.39 and diesel is $2.79......

We are at $2.899 for 87 octane here. PA is one of the higher gas tax States. I’m not exactly sure where the money goes since the roads don’t seem to be getting fixed any faster...

They raised our gas tax and registration fees and now the idiot governor whos whole campaign slogan was "fix the damn roads" ia saying "its not in the budget".
