$3.459 at BP and same at Exxon this morning here in Columbia (SC). Shell was $3.479...

 

If we could get Nancy Pelosi to put offshore drilling on the agenda and if it were to pass, we'd probably see prices below $3. Imagine what a shot in the arm that would be to working class people and the entire economy in general. Too bad she's so beholden to the enviro-lobby that she won't do what's good for the country.

 

Or it could be, ya know, reality. It would take at least 5 years to get a drop in the most aggressive timetable. Most estimates are 7-10 years. It could only be a drop in the barrel that the US consumes and it will cause irreparable damage to our coastlines.

Worst of all it enables us to continue using the heroin in our economy: oil.

Drilling is the exact opposite of what we need to do to counter climate change. Coastal wind power is something we should have been working on years ago.

Wind along with plug-in hybrid cars would do leaps and bounds more for the US in terms of energy independence and cost per mile!

 

Race Track here in the north side of Houston got down to $3.53. Watered down gas maybe?

 

Best price in Charleston area is $3.579, but in Columbia (where I'm driving to today) it is $3.329 according to gasbuddy.

 

$3.39 Tulsa but with E10 ethanol crap. $3.45 for real gasoline.

 

In case anyone wondered, in areas where the govt mandated E10 is taking place gasoline is cheaper since a wholesale gallon of that stuff is $2 compared to $3 for gasoline. However, you get $2 worth of energy -- or less. Eventually everyone will realize the true costs of ethanol...........

 

I just drove through Great Bend, Kansas, and gas there was $3.499, well below the $3.799 here in Dernver. But then another tropical system is in the Gulf of Mexico, so who knows.

 

I figured the range (station to station) in prices may be due to the less expensive E10 that is fairly common in SC. But, it wasn't directly correlated, however it could be that the E10 station drops the price and the E0 station across the street has to come close if they don't to lose all of their business.

Currently low price in Columbia is $3.29.

 

still 3.66 here, seems to have stopped dropping, boo.
