Just to let all of you know, the wholesale price of gas (what your local gas station pays for it's gas) is $1.37 right now. This is the lowest price for wholesale gas since January.

Why are we still paying $2.00/gallon?

Everyone should be outraged!

I didn't need to hear that! Arghh now I am going to more frustrated at the pump than before.

I can't stand being raked oer the coals. Maybe we should all pick a station a week to boycot.

I heard this talked about on the radio. NPR I believe. They said that Gas is traded like a commodity, people buy it to resell it. usually in very large quantities. once the price has gone up for them, it doesn't come down for us until all the expensive gas is sold. But of course when they even think there is going to be a shortage or whatever, they start raising the price. hope this gives some clarity.

Heard on the news last night talk of a new gas tax also. Of course they have to put it on the ballots I believe.

Maybe it's time we start thinking of alternative means of boat propulsion...gas/electric hybrids (like the autos). Hmmm...

ya there is a new way of propulsion, its called rowing.....

as long as all the gas prices are frequent with other gas stations i am alright with it. BUt i dont think we should boycott them. i mean you dont see anybody boycoting the movie theatre because popcorn is 7.50. sometimes you just have to deal with it. Just my .02

I'm sure I don't get out on the water as much as many of you. But a thought or two.
What is the ratio of the amount of fuel one uses in the road vehicles to the amount used in the water vehicles?

I wish fuel prices would drop too, but I don't count on it, and, in fact, am planning for them to go higher.

I'm all for the advancement of alternative fuels/energy, but gas prices have not hit us hard enough yet to "spark" intensive demand.
Compare our future vehicle (and other) technology to that of Japan! We are years behind them!

Hey, how about installing a hydrofoil fit on our boats? Faster, more efficient...

Rowing? Slow to get there, but just think how fit you'll be!! (ha, ha)...especially rowing that 27 footer around!

I can see the revival of the backyard stills if prices grow beyond $3/gal.

What are your thoughts?

After the station pays $1.37 then all the taxes are piled on. There's a bunch.

Saw premium in San Fran this weekend for $3 a gallon....no s**t.

Bought ten gallons in Willits, CA on Friday for $23!!

Things should start dropping here within the week. There is a historical lag time between crude prices and pump prices of about three weeks.

I sure get suspicious though when it starts getting that ridiculous, especially when the upward curve of retail prices peaks higher than than does the wholesale curve.

$1.37 is after taxes are piled on.

gas war in elma 1.39 a gallon

In case anyone is unaware, you can get $.17 cents a gallon back from the state for gas purchased at a marina.

I just got back from Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri and I was seeing gas from $1.28-$1.33 a gallon. It made me jelous

TTT

Gas prices are based upon supply and demand and at times not directly based upon the price of crude.

Because the direct suplply of gas to the West Coast is down and demand is up, we are seeing the highest prices in the country.

I drive more then most...Hell...I've put over 20k miles on my new truck since the 1st of August and I live in Everett and work in Bellevue and do alot of drving on my days off as well...it is costing me an average of another $20/week or so...its not too bad and I havent reduced my driving becuase of it.

Trip to the CR,30 Gal for the truck,15 Gal for the boat.@ 1.82 a Gal=$81.90 shot at a 30lb springer Priceless
