Get this ladies; now Hybrids are in such demand, the car dealers can't stock them fast enough. There's a waiting list! And what's going to happen with all those big ole SUV'S???

I know people who can't get rid of their SUVs now. Nobody's buying them. Not even the dealers will take them.

I'm sure all stations are not equal. In some stations $4.19 a gallon goes much further towards filling up my tank than in others. Though I'm sorry that merchants are doing this to consumers, I'm glad that my mind was not playing tricks on me.

We just got back from Ireland - makes the US gas prices look good! Over there, they sell it by the liter, I guess to make it seem less expensive. We had a small rental car and filled it up when it was down to 1/4 tank. It cost about $125 U.S. to fill it up - yikes!

My goodness!!!! I'm rejoicing here because it dropped from about $4.15-$4.20 a gal. here over the July 4 holiday to about $3.65 a gal. this weekend. I filled my tank up for less than $40. I wonder why such a price variance here in the States? (But then again, I've noticed a big range as much as up to 20 cents on the gallon just around here...they were raking some poorer neighborhoods!!!!)

KH, I think it has to do with distribution costs, taxes (mostly local), and a locations' costs and profit margins...
California's fuel is higher due to tax rates.
Washington's fuel is higher due to distance from oil production.
And so on.

Gas has dropped here in Vegas this week from $4.17 a gallon to $3.79 everywhere. Guess maybe 'big mother oil' has finally gotten the message. But qe still need to keep them squirming or it will go right back up again.
