Be glad we don't have to use Evian water to power our cards. Hehe,..over $21.00/gallon for water. Talk about gouging.

$40 a barrel.
Gouging at the pump? Nope.
Gouging at the refinery? Nope.
Gouging at the Corporate level? Nope.
Gouging from the suppliers?.........Ask our supplies, they set the price per barrel.

Cali prices are the highest because of the corn additive thats added to gas, short supply, high demand.

CA screws America!

methyl tertiary butyl ether, commonly known as MTBE, was eliminated in Cali. Corn-derived gasoline additive ethanol replaced MTBE and increased the demand on American corn, which is at an all-time high. Its helping the redneck farmers because it has increased corn prices....

One other note, the US holding onto its reserves with the threat of war looming, Venezeula(sp) crisis adds to the ever increasing gas prices too.
