Someone has to pay for the social programs in California.
How else can you get those English/Spanish bilingual books paid for?
It's $1.53 or so here at the Diamond Shamrocks in San Antonio. $1.49 at Flying J on I-10.
Most of the fuel charges are tax.

Filled up on 04/06 in Las Vegas, NV for $1.85 (20 cents below regular).
Filled up last Sunday 04/18 for $2.25 (5 cents higher than mid grade and 3 cents below premium.
Price has gone up 40 cents per gallon in less than two weeks.
Historically diesel has been significantly lower than regular in Las Vegas, but not anymore.

Here in northern Missouri, we are paying about 1.80-1.90 for gas, and diesel is about 1.72.
When will it stop?
I am not an advocate of rebellion, but there has to be a limit to what the American consumer can tolerate. When is it enough? When will we stand up and say "I cannot do this anymore!"
As long as the public will bear the weight of the fuel, they will continue to pay. It isn't like we can quit driving, I guess...

Exactly Chadrock, I am only about 1.5 hours away from Vegas and Diesel has shot up to be more than Premium at some of the locations. I fill up about every other day so it is a pretty big deal to me. We are getting the Kalifornia shaft out here.

This is NUTS! On Wednesday the local P66 jumped the price to $1.569 and Wally went to $1.669. Well, today (Fri) it's back down again to $1.499. But Wally is still at $1.669. Won't be shopping at Wally for a while, not with that kind of gouging!

Cjaiceman.......which station in Pueblo?
I was just there for a race this last weekend and filled N. of Hwy 50 for $1.75 (which is about where it is up here, west of Denver).
Still not that bad.
Just supercharged our S15 Jimmy, which of course now demands premium, (and ohh yeah, that blew the tranny and tranfer case)....and since I finally got my Ram, my wife would like the car back to stock......not too smart on my part.

Here in western Oregon the price went up drastically in a short time. A month ago it was at 1.75-1.77, which was a couple of pennies below regular. Today it ranges from 1.93 to 2.09 and is at least 10 cents higher than gas. It went up 20 cents in a week and has been climbing slowly since.
Have you seen the email making the rounds that compares the price of gas to other common liquids? Such as Gatorade at $10.17/gal (20 oz @ $1.59), Pepto Bismal $123/gal ($3.85/4 oz), or bottled water $21.19/gal ($1.49/9 oz). Just be glad your truck doesn't run on bottled water!

Prices may come down soon depending on when/if the oil flow from Iraq finally picks up, but it comes with some negative side effects especially to domestic oil production.
As Bush was ramping up for the Iraq war, OPEC feared that the U.S. would use its expected new-found control of Iraqi oil to undermine the cartel's power. In the fall of 2002, Saudi oil people in Washington were warning that should the U.S. invade Iraq and then turn around and flood the market with cheap Iraqi oil in an effort to bypass OPEC, Saudi Arabia was prepared to open the gates and together with Iran, the region's other big producer, flood the world oil markets, forcing prices further downward.
The last thing on anyone's mind is helping out consumers. As always, Joe Six Pack, the Saudi's term for the American public, are paying top dollar for gasoline, home heating oil, and natural gas purchased from the big international companies, which control the end price to consumers because of their clamp on refining and distribution.
If the Saudis decided to let the so-called free market take over, flooding the globe with crude and sending oil prices into a steep dive, then the U.S. would be faced with a true nightmare. Lower prices would finish off not only smaller international companies that had been enticed into the oil play by high prices, but could wipe out the domestic oil companies in the U.S. , causing sheer political hell for President Bush.
