Re: [MBZ] US vs. Canada Gasoline Prices
Biggest issue I see is the one use theory of everything. Stuff should be used, reused, washed and used again. Until there is nothing left of it. Smelt the CRT into bullets of some other useful thing. Take the devastated homes in the Gulf and turn them into compost or salvage them in some manner. There is a way to make the nuke waste good for other than filling a hole in the ground. I have no idea what, but there has got to be a way. In a few years we are going to be hitting the landfills with mining equipment to get at all the wonderful stuff locked away underground. Nature recycles, we should do no less. Heck we do it everyday being the cheap pack of bastids we are just to keep our wheels on the road.

That price is high. But it sounds worse than it is. I calculate $5.49 CDN / Imperial gallon = $3.71 US / 128 oz gallon. Ned

There has to be price gouging if gas doubles in price overnight, but not necessarily by the service stations.

Re: [MBZ] US vs. Canada Gasoline Prices
Anybody get the idea that maybe resources like refining and such should be a bit more distributed so that when stuff like Katrina happens we are all not bound to take it in the shorts? Great idea for power generation as well. Why have it all concentrated? Just makes it easier for terrorists to take out.

I hope this chart link works, and it reflects yesterday's prices. BZT. Canada to some extent, and Europe to a large extent, use fuel taxes to fund socialism. The only fair comparison is at the untaxed price, which is surprisingly similar. The only thing Canadians or Europeans can complain about over US gas prices is the taxes, which they may or may not agree with, or may or may not agree with what the money is used for. Georgia's fuel prices, OTOH, are artificially high to make every last cent out of customers. Don't like it, take the bus or ride a bike. Or drive an 18 wheeler into the capitol building, like someone did in Sacramento several years ago. K
Re: [MBZ] US vs. Canada Gasoline Prices
Because some states, California comes to mind, refuse to let a refinery or powerplant be built in the state. I work for a gas pipeline company, and you would not believe the hell we go through just to put in a pipeline in states like New Jersey. They all want the product, but they want someone else to bear the burden of providing it--at a price suitable to the consumer of course. Thomas E.

Re: [MBZ] US vs. Canada Gasoline Prices
Ok, maybe they should get charged more for being part of the problem. WY and KS have wells, maybe a refinery there would be able to feed the midwest.
