Great.

That does not excuse the thirty-cent prices differences between gas stations in the same state, same county, and from the same corporate brand that I am seeing. What I am seeing is cooperation among businesses to artificially inflate the price in certain areas.

There is a 20-30 cent price difference in gas from where I live and where I work. However there is a huge difference in property value and the cost of the lease of a corner lot. The lease is probably 1.5 to 2x from point A to point B.

Anyways, this is possibly some of the best news I've heard in awhile, we were just talking about OPEC the other day in Econ class, can't wait for the next class to talk about this now.

Creepy.

55 gallon drums are relatively common, and it's not difficult to load up an inexpensive trailer with a dozen of them.

Peacecraft · 09-12-2008, 12:31 PM

I filled up for $3.63 a gallon last night. Today gas is up to $4.10-$4.20 a gallon.

Fuck Ike

Luckily, I heard this rumor at the office today and put some fuel on the fire by talking about Chavez not wanting to sell to America and Saudi Arabia pulling out of OPEC resulting in the OPEC companies trying to raise prices to cover losses.

Freaked all those middle-aged women out.

Tortfeasor · 09-12-2008, 12:38 PM

I am pretty ignorant of international economics, particularly in the area of oil but...

If Saudi Arabia is ditching out on OPEC, isn't that just going to increase competition among the oil producers? If so, that means prices will drop. So good news imo.
