More propaganda from the left. Subsidies is what we call low taxes for US business. Give $2B of the US tax payers money to Brazil, all is well.

Local stations are $3.50- $3.56. We filled up yesterday 10 miles South of Ft Knox at $3.29. Big difference. Cashier said that prices had dropped several days ago. We are being gouged guys. POWDERMAN.

I think the retailers get up in the morning, call each other and ask, how much ya think we can cheat em out of today?? POWDERMAN.

Damn I am getting cheated, I payed 3.59 this evening

saddlebum · « **Reply #156 on:** March 24, 2011, 11:01:03 PM »

Today I payed 3.99 for diesel. The truck stop down the road stopped advertising their prices on the sign about 2wks ago.
I got less than a half a tank for 50.00. A little less than 13 gallons.

Obama okays a permit for a deep water Brazilian rig in the Gulf of Mexico and subsidises it to boot. And makes a deal to buy oil from them.
Only one permit issued to an American company since the spill and nothing opening up on land, like Anwar.

To say that I'm disappointed in Obama and his administration is a gross understatement!

St. Charles, Missouri jumped up to $3.59 today. what in the world?

Off base, gas is $4.09 this morning; on base, its $3.90.

But didja know, the EPA is concerned that milk spilled in a commercial facility, since it contains oil, is not being treated as a HAZMAT, so additional regulation to ensure that that oil is disposed of appropriately is in the works. Crying over spilled milk ... no, it's not a joke.

(Yes, yes the NY Times says this is a myth. And firing hundreds of missiles, and dropping bombs on Libya are not acts of war.)

Interesting that our nanny is "crying over spilled milk", but they force us to use pigtail light bulbs that are filled with mercury.
They have a coniption fit over throwing plastic in a dump. But not billions mercury filled bulbs?
But I digress.......................

Went back to where I bought gas Mon at $3.29 and it had raised 37 cents, now $3.66. POWDERMAN.

Diesel is $4.35. Gas is still $4.19. If you buy your fuel at Costco then you pay about .10 less a gallon.

I got diesel 4 days ago at 3.99. Today it was 4.09. Up 10 cents in four days!

bobg · « **Reply #166 on:** March 28, 2011, 11:59:28 PM »

Gas has held at $3.75 here for a week now. Must be about time for a big jump. Looks like i will head for the reservation tomorrow and save about 23 cents a gallon.

teamnelson · « **Reply #167 on:** March 29, 2011, 10:36:58 AM »

There's a base shopette/gas station I pass each morning on my way to work. Friday it dipped .01, Saturday it went up .02, Sunday .03, Today it went up .02 ... and we're still about .10 less than out in town.

Must not be an issue though, alot of my junior troops have all bought new Tahos, Escalades, Chargers and Camaros in the last couple months

Teach your children well ...

If oil prices go much higher, this will surely hurt Obama. Also, if there is no significient increase in employment, that should hurt him also. I would hope gas goes to $5 a gallon the summer before the election, and causes layoffs. If you guys remember McCain was ahead in the polls in September before the election, but then the economy crashed, and Bush was advised to give the $700 billion in bailouts to the banks. Dems blamed Bush and the rest is history. The economy hasn't improved in 2 years around here, everyone is just getting by.

teamnelson · « **Reply #175 on:** April 05, 2011, 09:49:48 AM »

$4 for 87 last night on base; much higher off base, like $4.25 in some places. We'll be at $5 for the summer here.

Conan The Librarian · « **Reply #176 on:** April 05, 2011, 11:09:21 AM »

I guess it depends on what you mean by hurt. Financial, probably not. He's probably got a vested interest in keeping fuel costs high. Politically, maybe.

Just how much does the price of crude impact U.S. gasoline prices?
In November 2010, when the average retail gasoline price was $2.86
a gallon, crude oil accounted for 71 percent of that price.

So what makes up the other 29 percent of gasoline prices? According to
the Department of Energy, combined federal and state taxes
on gasoline accounted for 14 percent of the average price.
The remaining 15 percent of the price on average covers the
costs of refining.

You want to immediately help Americans , put a moratorium on Fed and State gas taxes for a 3 month period.
That would immediately reduce the cost of a gal of gas by an average of approx 40 cents per gallon .

Cabin4 · « **Reply #178 on:** April 05, 2011, 03:18:39 PM »

$4.13 this morning. Obama still doing nothing except giving our tax dollar to Brazil so their oil companies can drill off shore.

Since when do you care about the taxpayer Scoot???

That would be great we would be down to $3.60/gal... And then we can go on ignoring the real problem of not using our resources and sending trillions to our enemies...
