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.

Lowest I've seen this week is $3.77. That's when I fill up.
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.
#3.24 per gallon among the lowest
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.
Thanks Helene. I needed that.
A compliment from a Texan is what we Aussies regard as a windfall.
We here downunder believe that one day we will have something bigger and better than you all have there in Texas.
Ohhh....time to go feed the pet mice.........;)

Nooooooooooooooooooo. :D :D :D
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. :p
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. :eek: 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. :mad:
So, it's $3.35 this weekend.
Glad I'm not an Aussie :eek:.
$3.45 here. Though I saw it somewhere on the other side of town for like $3.36. Oh well, I'll be paying $3.45 when I go fill up Buttercup shortly :p.
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!
