Wow, a full dollar difference from here.
I just think that is wrong no matter how much the oil thugs on here try to justify it.
Where are you? I bet in southern state like South Carolina or Texas.
Left for Vaca 6/29 it was $3.09. Arrived home yesterday, $2.89. Still that way today here!!

Why does Chicago always have the highest gas prices? I found articles that cite that fact but they never explain why.
Gas prices in my area here in central Alabama dropped to $2.99 a few weeks ago but it's going back up. Now $3.05 at the cheap stations.
If by they you mean the idiots like you, ok. But if by they you mean anybody with a brain, you're lying again.They say once that pipeline is built diverting the oil south the Houston gas will go to $20 a gallon here.
They will have to truck oil up from Oklahoma to Chicago.
Can't wait for that fun. :thumbsup:

Let me repeat
Last year Gasoline was the number one import of the United States.
Uh, no, it wasn't. Crude oil was the number one import. We are actually a net exporter of refined fuel products. In fact, it is our number one export.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you failed to illustrate the part where anybody who isn't an idiot said gas will hit $20/gallon. Try again, Dave the Liar.Try search 101
There are a lot of articles on what your oil thug buds are doing
The steps have already been done.
Last year Gasoline was the number one Export of the United States.
Let me repeat

Based on that alone gasoline should two things:
Never be anywhere near $4 gallon
Never claim there is a shortage of any kind, whether it be the usual excuses like taxes and special blends make your gas more expensive.
The cost difference between Houston and Chicago is now a full $1

Big Oil’s Pipeline Scheme to Increase Midwest Gas Prices
As featured in the Washington Post today, there is growing opposition to the Keystone pipeline that would carry oil from the tar sands of Alberta, Canada to the coastal refineries of Texas.
Here’s how the pipeline scheme would really work:
Step 1: Divert Canadian Oil from the Midwest to Texas — TransCanada is trying to overcome what they call an “oversupply” of Canadian oil to America’s Midwest, which is currently the destination of most Canadian tar sands oil. This leads to cheaper oil prices (the oil companies call it a price “discount”, and Canada’s oil producers don’t like it. They are working with Valero and other oil companies to build the Keystone XL pipeline as a bypass around the Midwest, diverting as much as 500,000 barrels of Canadian oil daily to the port refineries in Texas.
Nobody can say where it will go from there. America is increasingly becoming the “middle man” in the global oil trade – we import vast amounts of crude oil, refine it, and increasingly export refined oil products like gasoline and diesel to foreign destinations including Mexico, South America, Europe, and China. 72% of these exports originate in Texas and Gulf Coast refineries, where exports have doubled in the past 5 years.
Step 2: Increase Oil Prices to the Midwest — As Canadian oil imports are shifted from the Midwest to Texas, oil supplies to Midwest refiners will decline. According to TransCanada’s analysis: “Midwest demand for Canadian heavy crude would exceed the available supply and the market price …would be approximately $6.55 per barrel above the 2008 price.” $6.55 per barrel is roughly equal to 15 cents per gallon.
The states on the shortest end of the Keystone dipstick are: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Wisconsin.
These are the states in the “PADD II” oil district highlighted in TransCanada’s analysis. These states already pay some of the highest prices in the nation for gasoline. On any given day, people in Chicago are likely to pay 30 cents per gallon more at the pump than people in Houston.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you failed to illustrate the part where anybody who isn't an idiot said gas will hit $20/gallon. Try again, Dave the Liar.
So, again another idiotic claim you have no proof for. Why didn't you just say $50 if you weren't going to be able to defend it anyway, or $100/ gallon?No bad news for you, you are in Texas so what do you care?
Try coming up to Chicago.
I meant export of course as you can see by my two things that we should never be paying $4 and never hear the excuse we are short of gasoline.
As Kiera Sedwick would say "Thank youuuuuuuuuuu CK for paying attention".
Why does Chicago always have the highest gas prices? I found articles that cite that fact but they never explain why.

So when is gas going to be $20/gallon in Chicago?That's all BS, a refinery s a refinery.
The better explanation is because I live here now.
http://money.cnn.com/2011/04/27/news/economy/chicago_gas_prices/index.htmBut prices in Chicago, the nation's third-largest city, are being inflated by a litany of taxes that add an estimated 60 cents per gallon to the retail price, according to Dave Sykuta, director of the Illinois Petroleum Council, an industry group.
If by they you mean the idiots like you, ok. But if by they you mean anybody with a brain, you're lying again.Complete with pics of when gas was well over $5

$20 Per Gallon Gas?! Shut Up, It's Good for You
Gas prices in Chicago are currently more manageable than they were last year, when the average price per gallon soared to over $4. We were paying more for gas than motorists in New York City or Los Angeles.
Commuters fled the motorways and flocked to public transportation, surging ridership to its highest levels in 50 years.
And while prices at the pump have come back down, they won't stay that way. They will continue to rise, and we will have to reconsider how we live, work, and eat. And one author says that's a very good thing.
Evanston engineer and journalist Christopher Steiner takes on this painful paradigm shift in his new book, $20 Per Gallon: How the Inevitable Rise in the Price of Gasoline Will Change Our Lives for the Better.
While most of us cringe at the thought of gas reaching $20 per gallon, Steiner believes many people would benefit from a life that didn't depend on petroleum.
"Weaning ourselves from gasoline isn't a scary thing," said Steiner, 32, according to the Sun-Times. "We're talking about cleaner environments, more walkable lives, better public transportation, and more vibrant cities."
Steiner admits that there would be a few losses. With travel kept to a minimum, people would visit faraway friends and family less often, and students would have fewer options for college. And it'd be very difficult to get our hands on international fruits, cheeses, and wines.
Steiner hopes that people will keep gas prices in mind as they decide where to live, work, and shop.
"Maybe next time you're in a transitional point of life, don't go further out and buy the bigger house, but move to a walkable community, near a train," Steiner says. "That's a change you'll profit from."
