I posted a few days ago on the other board about gas prices. My cheap station is still at 2.79 and hasn't been lower. THAT is some BS right there. someone said it was supply and demand but that proves MY point. demand is at generational lows and the price has barely budged, while the world is awash in oil. it's also not the CA gas tax, at .47 c per gallon that keeps CA prices 2 or 3 times higher than in other places. and it's not "summer blend" which doesn't add nearly enough to explain this difference and besides, all the gas being bought now was refined a while ago. so what is it? why is gas under $1 in some places and still around $3 at a lot of places in so cal?
I'm generally not a conspiracy theorist but it isn't hard to envision the orange idiot telling oil CEO's to go ahead and gouge CA and NY. his frikken tax policy does it, so how big of a stretch is this really? the CA DOJ ought to get on this. i smell a rat.

I bought in Michigan today Thursday at $1.49 this includes the price of the gallon, a Federal tax of 18.4 cents, 6% sales tax on Fed+Gasoline, and the state gasoline tax of 26.3 cents. Here's the text:
