Absolutley correct. I did not notice where it says that about .56 a gallon in taxes, the reformulated cost is about .20. We should just have the federal standards for gasoline emmission.

Wonder why the MSM isn't making a big deal about the price of maple syrup. I believe its at an all time high, and with the amount I consume - even in my hamburgers - it's causing a hardship for my family....sigh.

So do Ronco ads. And don't fall for that sleezebag behind the counter in your local coffee shop who wants to leave you some room for cream.

I filled up yesterday at exit 28 on I-70, east of KC, for $1.979.
First time I've seen gas under $2.00 since August.

$1.00 in 1980 equals $2.54 in 2005 based on monetary inflation alone.

It costs me $20 to fill up half a tank. I should be grateful for the decline in the price, even though its not that dramatic. My wallet feels a bit heftier.

$1.979 in NE OK - 11/5/05
To: SmithL
My last purchase of gasoline was $2.25 per gallon.
I think a fair price of gasoline is $1.50 per gallon. We are all being ripped off.

Since the Law of Supply and Demand hasn't been repealed, do you have any suggestions for getting a fair price?

I disagree.
Fair price for gasoline is 10 cents a gallon.
That's what my granddaddy paid. Why should I get cheated?

Still about 75 cents too high in Chicago.

$2.70 in Reno, Nevada
They could have a slot machine next to the pump. They would make more money if they said--"Play for free gas."
I haven't seen Brad's Gramma for a while. She's probably knitting Christmas stockings that fit Michael Moore. I hear it's a year-ROUND project.
