Right, Dave. I'm sure your posts in P&N have Big Oil quaking in their boots.
Right, Dave. I'm sure your posts in P&N have Big Oil quaking in their boots....I would like to think that thanks to my posting their huge jumps that someone told them they better back off...
They overpaid. I saw unleaded regular @ $3.10 today in Greer....Someone even bragging in the gas thread today about paying $3.27 in South Carolina...
Is South Carolina a different country? Nope, still the U.S.
Is Chicago in the U.S.? Yep last time I checked.
Something isn't right.
Facts are facts.
As I pointed out before you don't pay the same price for a gallon of milk across the whole country either
Congrats on refuting my proof of your lying with irrelevant spot-prices, which as those of us with a basic understanding of math know don't allow a person to plot a trend because they don't say what the price was beforehand. That's why I gave the trend link at chicagogasprices.com when I called you a liar about the "30 cent jump". This shows $.06. http://www.chicagogasprices.com/retail_price_chart.aspx<snip>

I still have never come across a person who lies so much about things so easily identified as lies.
This isn't quite important enough to me to take the time and money to fly to Chicago to discuss it in person. Almost, though.Come here and show me in person.
I can walk to four stations from my apartment.
Think your so big, come here.

You still haven't shown that gas jumped 30 cents let alone 20 cents.
Do you know what reformulated gasoline (aka boutique gas) is?
If I told you that Chicago and near lying regions were part of what is referred to as "N RFG w/ethanol" would you know what I was talking about?
You live in the middle of a supply-limited market that is constrained by regulations requiring gas stations to supply a very specialized blend of gasoline.
Here's some data for you. http://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/pet_pri_gnd_dcus_r20_m.htm
Do you know what happens every year on June 1 in your region of the country? You switch to so-called "summer gas".
In the days leading up to that can you guess what happens to the supply of existing non-summer gas for your region? Severe supply limitations because no one wants to sit on an unsellable stockpile of non-summer gas for your region.
This volatility does not exist 50 miles from where you live, in your zone (PADD2) the conventional gas (usable all year around, huge market, huge supplies) is sold literally right next door, and it is nearly $0.30 less expensive than the reformulated gas that your own state government requires you to buy from the gas stations where you live.
Volatility in the gas prices in your neck of the woods can not, and will never, reflect the volatility in gas prices in every one else's neck of the woods because you live in a distinctly localized neck of the woods when it comes to regulations stipulating the requirement of reformulated gasoline mixture in the first place (limited market means smaller supply means higher price at ALL times) combined with the fact that two times a year it switched from summer formulation to winter formulation and back again.
And when those switches happen the gas stations have to let their ground tanks basically sell out and run dry while swapping formulations, causing even more volatility in the local prices because supply volatility spikes.
Well I'll let the horse tell it straight from his mouth:

I personally saw a huge jump before the Memorial Day weekend.
I Dont Care whether you jack boots that are not physically here says its 20 cents 22 cents or whatever cents.
Fact is it went up while you guys insisted it went down and all of you calling me a liar including the management of this site.
You are all full of shit and you know it.
OMG!!!! The price de-gouging continues. The Friday that marks the beginning of Memorial Day weekend gas prices near me dropped another $0.03/gal to $3.47/gal.

...because everyone knows the Energy Industry will do whatever they must to keep Barack Obama in office so they don't have to face the harsh regulation of a Republican administration.When was the last time we saw gas go down on Memorial Day? Obama's puppeteers must be really working overtime to get him re-elected. Let's see if the downward trend continues up to the election (which I predicted).
Note to Dave: I bought gas in Greer, SC, yesterday for $3.01/gallon...

The de-gouging continues as gas dropped yet another $0.05/gal over Memorial Day weekend to $3.42/gal.
Gas goes up --> Obama is to blame.
Gas goes down --> Obama is manipulating the market.
It's nice to have all the bases covered.
