    Isn't some oil refinery shutting down/shut down because of the hurricane? That's what my mom said, and it would explain why I paid $3.35 for gas today.

    Up here in the Concordia area, the lowest price is $3.49 a gallon. I'm sure with the labor day weekend coming up, the prices will climb again.

    Here in Armidale today.........
    $1.48 per litre.

    1litre = 0.2642 US gal.
    1 US Gallon = 3.785 litres
    3.785 litres X $1.48 = $5.60

    Convert $5.60 AUS into $US = $5.95 US

    Sheesh.....and you are all whinging about the price being between $3 and $4 ?
    We are paying nearly double here downunder.

    Are your high prices due to taxes or higher profits for the companies?

    Nooooooooooooooooooo.

    When my friends point out how high are gas is, I point out that people in other countries pay way more than we do. A lot of that higher cost has to do with taxes. I was really asking how much is economics, such as availability, versus taxes.

    FYI, my home state has higher gas taxes and taxes in general than the state where I work and reside. As a result, the roads are in better condition, and the state can offer more services.

    My state of residence, SC, tried to secede from the Union once before and there are several "old families" in this state that would do it again in a heartbeat. Our taxes are lower, but the services are lacking. And the infrastructure is failing.

    I don't want to part with any more of my money than I have to, but it would be nice to drive down the state and local roads and not hit potholes.

    Hmmmm, I suppose it's the same here.
    I think tho that it all comes down to simple political economics.

    A couple of blocks away from where I work, there's a Mobil station. It went from $3.45 Tuesday evening to $3.65 this morning. 20 cents in two days?!

    Yikes! I noticed the Shell station's price went up 10 cents in 2 days, and I thought that was bad! Right now, you can pay anywhere from $3.25 (which we filled Turtle up on) to $3.65 a gallon for the cheapest grade of gas, depending on the station, all within a couple miles of each other. They will charge what the market will bear, no question of that!
