Gas only costs like 30 cents a gallon to make. They sell it for like 32-33 cents. The extra dollar and such is about 6 different taxes. Blame the government, not the companies.
 
Up here they raise the price every long weekend, funny how that happens :retard:

I think it's some of both really, we don't pay gas tax on the res, it's a difference of about $8 on a $28 tank, we pay around $20 for that.

It's still a lot.
 
Ah... they do the same thing here as well.. but it only adds up to about a few dollars at best. 90% of the time thats the end retailer jacking it up for a fast profit because everyone else is doing it as well. They know that people cant survive without the gas so they quietly agree to play oneupsmanship under the table during the peak demand times.

Now if its a long demand cycle like the start of summer travel and such, the price raises at the wholesale level because of sheer demand. They refineries can only pump out so much product. They have to pay shitloads of overtime and run trucks at double pay long distances to keep up with demands of 98 grades of gasoline with various additives tailored to meet local air standards and ethanol mix ratios. If there was just 5-6 universal accepted gas grade variants these bottlenecks wouldnt happen.
 
Unc, remember one thing. When they put up the price at your pump, it's maybe a few cents a gallon. Last weekent, they jumped the price at my local pump 8 cents .... a liter. That's about 32 cents a gallon. And every station did it. and every fucking station dropped back down by the exact same amount three days later. How long would a US station last before a shooting war broke out?
 
i've seen $0.20/gal price difference on opposite sides of town. 1 station in a residential area, the other by the interstate.

That all depends upon momentum and the media. If the media cries wolf and says that there is a problem, people go off and accept that the spikes are justified. As soon as they really grumble... hard.. then retialers who do more business selling cigs and beer tend to drop prices. Prices always shoot up overnight and take weeks to trickle off.
 
*porks the one he loves* :sex:

Ahh well, I'll just pork random women. :headbang:
