Supposedly there's some kind of supply issue due to a refinery being down or at reduced capacity. Prices have been dropping roughly ten cents per week since the middle of August around here, and this morning I saw a couple of stations at $2.479. Connecticut had some of the most expensive fuel in the nation for a while.

So lets see. Their refinery shuts down through no fault of yours and because the can't provide enough gas because their equipment is down the price goes up.  I guess the CEO needs another year end bonus  |

This would make perfect sense...
but what doesn't make sense is why Utah gas prices skyrocketed when katrina hit, or when the rest of the country's gas went up. If we really are an island unto ourselves, the rises in gas prices in Utah are nothing more than dirty profiteering by the oil man. |

Regular gas is still $2.90 here in Bend Oregon! Our town is a real tourist rip off.

What I don't get is... they just found that huge oil deposit in the gulf of Mexico which they claim is one of the largest oil deposits ever found... then in the same breath they say that it will not affect the price of gas.
Well WTF? Why are we looking for oil if prices are going to just keep skyrocketing anyways? Those oil companies are a bunch of greedy bastards!!

Well, they have found that oil...but they can't extract it yet...You can't find oil and then the next day start drilling offshore. You have to build a few rigs first.

The real problem is they don't have enough refinery capacity to make the gas and they are probably producing heating oil now for the winter. The only way to bring the price down is to use less and make them store it until they have no room left and then they lower the price to move it and WE WIN. It takes about a week for the storage to fill up if everyone cuts back a little.
RI prices are 2.499 and Mass prices near RI are 2.399

I'm pretty certain that all of Utah/Wyoming/Colorado use natural gas for heating and not oil.
I would be more than happy with 2.399 right now 
But then again, I don't think that lower gas prices are going to make people join this site, so maybe higher gas prices are better |
