Actually you can thank that senile Ronnie Reagan he's the one that deregulated the oil companies and the Bushes just take their campagne contributions and look the other way when they gouge in the states that don't vote repubican.

James Carvelle on Conan last night said when he sees a Bush/Cheney sticker he askes the person did you vote for the deficit or the lies?

 

I don't know about all this silly $2.50 a gallon nonsense. Just head down to the marina and get yourself some diesel. Sure its got high sulpher content, but it does the job just the same. Diesel at the 'ole Marina is $.98.

 

That would work if we had water.

 

Price gouging has is very little to do with the rich Texas oil companies. Blame it on the franchise stations that raise the prices at their whim. The majority of gas stations in Texas and elsewhere are owned/operated by Arabs. or people of middle east decent. There was a station 3 blocks from my home in San Antonio that had it's diesel marked at least .15 cents higher than all competitors because it sat on a popular location, and tourist passing through didn't know any better. I live in Alabama now, and its no different.... case in point.... just today.... one station is charging $1.55 at noon, and at 1:30 they hike it up to $1.69, and the station down the street 1000 yds has it for $1.51. Does diesel go up .14 just for that station? He77 no... All this makes me And don't blame the Republicans, if Dems were in office, you'd be paying $3 a gallon because of all the taxes they levy on everything and it's brother.

 

Yeah, but doesn't the socialist state of CA go after whatever portion of your retirement you "earned" while in CA no matter where you live? So, say you move to NV where there's no income tax... doesn't CA try and stick you with an income tax bill on the retirement income generated while you were a resident of the state? Or some stupid crap like that....

Maybe it's just gov't pensions. I think they lost the federal version, at least.

 

Good price. That ole marina sure isn't on the Chesapeake Bay. But ours is bright red.

 

$1.79 today in western Colorado.

What was that about gas flowing, and fuel prices dropping after we won the war in Iraq?

While on vacation in Kauai, in Hawaii, last month, we were paying $2.49.

Fuel prices, health insurance and prescription costs are among the things that spoil life for retired people.
